Deputy Darren O'Rourke asked the Minister for Transport if he will provide a 2022 end-of-year report on the Connecting Ireland plan for County Meath; the funding that was allocated and spent; the services that have been delivered; the funding that is allocated for 2023; the services that are expected to be delivered in 2023 in County Meath; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [2391/23]
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 delivering the Connecting Ireland Rural Mobility Plan.
In light of the NTA's responsibilities for Connecting Ireland, including the funding and rollout of services in County Meath, 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.
