Written answers

Minister for Transport

As 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 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 questions in relation to the reorganisation of bus services in north Kildare to the NTA for direct reply. Please advise my private office if you do not receive a response within ten working days

A referred reply was forwarded to the Deputy under Standing Order 51
