Written answers

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 in the Greater Dublin Area, including BusConnects Dublin.

The Revised Network was published in September 2020 following the conclusion of 3 separate public consultations in 2017, 2018 and 2019. The public consultation referred to by the Deputy was held in respect of the Core Bus Corridor network which is separate to the Revised Network.

I have referred the Deputy's question to the NTA for further elaboration on the process of the route selection for Spine A.  Please contact my private office if you do not receive a reply within 10 days.

A referred reply was forwarded to the Deputy under Standing Order 51
