Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 8 November 2022
182. Deputy Joe McHugh asked the Minister for Transport the provision that is in place to ensure continuity of transportation services for the Creeslough community as a consequence of the current road closure; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [54333/22]
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 view of the above, I have forwarded the Deputy's question in relation to the continuity of transportation services for the Creeslough community to the NTA for direct reply. Please advise my private office if you do not receive a response within ten working days.
