Dáil Éireann Debate, Wednesday - 13 July 2022
113. Deputy Sorca Clarke asked the Minister for Transport if he will consider the cost-of-living and fuel costs of reinstating the Dublin-Galway bus route which would offer public transport options currently not available. [38702/22]
View answerAs 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.
In light of the NTA's responsibility in this area, I have forwarded the Deputy's specific question in relation to the cost-of-living and fuel costs of reinstating the Dublin-Galway bus route which would offer public transport options currently not available, to the NTA for direct reply. Please advise my private office if you do not receive a response within ten working days.
