Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 26 July 2022
265. Deputy Emer Higgins asked the Minister for Transport the reason for the decision to split the proposed W6 BusConnects route into the two sections of W61 and W62, which will no longer directly link Maynooth with Newcastle, County Dublin as planned; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [41013/22]
View answerAs Minister for Transport, I have responsibility for policy and overall funding in relation to public transport. The National Transport Authority (NTA) has responsibility for the planning and development of public transport infrastructure, including BusConnects.
Noting the NTA's responsibility in the matter, I have referred the Deputy's question to the NTA for direct reply. Please contact my private office if a reply is not received within 10 days.
