52. Deputy Seán Canney asked the Minister for Transport the progress is being made with the proposal to provide a bus lane from Claregalway to Galway city along the N83; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [12073/22]
View answer76. Deputy Thomas Gould asked the Minister for Transport if he will confirm that the next draft of BusConnects in Cork will have a route from the northside to the Munster Technological University [12065/22]
View answerI propose to take Questions Nos. 52 and 76 together.
As Minister for Transport, I have responsibility for policy and overall funding in relation to public transport. The National Transport Authority (NTA) has statutory responsibility for the planning and development of public transport infrastructure, including the BusConnects programme in our cities.
Noting the NTA's responsibility in the matter, I have referred the Deputy's question to the NTA for a direct reply. Please contact my private office if you do not receive a reply within 10 days.
