Dáil Éireann Debate, Thursday - 8 September 2022
266. Deputy Paul Murphy asked the Minister for Transport if his attention has been drawn to the difficulties experienced by those travelling on the 76 bus route which is managed by a company (details supplied); and if he will address these issues with the company directly. [43553/22]
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 Go-Ahead Ireland Bus Route 76, to the NTA for direct reply. Please advise my private office if you do not receive a response within ten working days.
