Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 11 October 2022
246. Deputy Pauline Tully asked the Minister for Transport when funding for TFI Local Link daily return routes from the towns of Ballyjamesduff and Kilnaleck to the town of Cavan as applied for by Cavan-Monaghan Local Link will be sanctioned; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [50085/22]
View answerAs Minister for Transport, I have responsibility for policy and overall funding in relation to public transport.
The National Transport Authority (NTA) has statutory responsibility for securing the provision of public passenger transport services nationally. The NTA also has national responsibility for integrated local and rural transport, including the Rural Transport Programme management, which operates under the TFI Local Link brand.
In light of the NTA's responsibilities for public transport services, including in County Cavan, I have referred your question to the NTA for direct reply to you. Please advise my private office if you do not receive a reply within ten working days.
