Dáil Éireann Debate, Thursday - 22 September 2022
189. Deputy Emer Higgins asked the Minister for Transport if he is satisfied with the L51 and L52 bus route services provided by an organisation (details supplied); the number of morning, afternoon and evening L51 and L52 services that were cancelled per month in 2022; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [46436/22]
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 L51 and L52 bus route services, to the NTA for direct reply. Please advise my private office if you do not receive a response within ten working days.
