Dáil Éireann Debate, Thursday - 30 June 2022
117. Deputy Darren O'Rourke asked the Minister for Transport if he will commit to improving the Local Link bus services to and from Collooney, County Sligo; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [35039/22]
View answerAs 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 securing the provision of public passenger transport services nationally. The NTA also has national responsibility for integrated local and rural transport, including management of the Rural Transport Programme which operates under the TFI Local Link brand.
In light of the NTA's responsibilities for TFI Local Link services, including in County Sligo, I have referred your question to the NTA for direct reply to you. Please advise my private office if you do not receive a reply within ten working days.
