View answerAs the Minister for Transport, I have responsibility for policy and overall funding in relation to public transport; however, I am not involved in the day-to-day operations of public transport.
The National Transport Authority (NTA) has statutory responsibility for securing the provision of public passenger transport services nationally and for the scheduling of those services in conjunction with the relevant transport operators, in this case Bus Éireann.
In light of the Authority's responsibility in this area, I have forwarded the Deputy's question regarding details of the population areas in County Kerry currently without a Bus Éireann service, to the NTA for direct reply. Please advise my private office if you do not receive a response within ten working days.
