Dáil Éireann Debate, Wednesday - 14 September 2022
156. Deputy Catherine Murphy asked the Minister for Transport the amount in financial sanctions that has been imposed on a company (details supplied) for non-delivery of services and unacceptable levels of punctuality in 2021 and to date in 2022; and if he will provide a breakdown by route and the amount of financial sanction that has been imposed. [45065/22]
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. Under the Dublin Transport Authority Act 2008 it is a statutory function of the National Transport Authority (NTA) to procure public transport services by means of Public Service Obligation (PSO) contracts.
In light of the Authority's responsibility in this area, I have forwarded the Deputy's specific question in relation to the breakdown of financial sanctions that have been imposed on Go-Ahead Ireland to the NTA for direct reply. Please advise my private office if you do not receive a response within ten working days.
