Dáil Éireann Debate, Thursday - 14 July 2022
277. Deputy Catherine Murphy asked the Minister for Transport if he has planned a review of delivery of bus services in light of traffic amendments and diversions over the next eight weeks and has assessed the parts of towns (details supplied) which will have been left without coverage of bus services; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [39523/22]
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 and for the scheduling and timetabling of these services in conjunction with the relevant transport operators.In light of the Authority's responsibility in this area, I have forwarded the Deputy's specific question in relation to bus services in Celbridge and Leixlip, to the NTA for direct reply. Please advise my private office if you do not receive a response within ten working days.
