Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 26 July 2022
197. Deputy James Lawless asked the Minister for Transport if he will investigate the reasons for the suspension of the 846 Clane to Sallins Bus; if his Department is in a position to find an alternative service provider in this case; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [39711/22]
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 responsibility for the provision of public 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 provision of an alternative service provider for the suspended bus service 846, to the Authority for direct reply. Please advise my private office if you do not receive a reply within ten working days.
