Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 28 February 2023
199. Deputy Noel Grealish asked the Minister for Transport to list the public transport services provided under public service obligation contracts in Galway city, including the individual routes and the companies that are operating them; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [10002/23]
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. Under the Dublin Transport Authority Act 2008 it is a statutory function of the National Transport Authority (NTA) to procure public transport services by means of Public Service Obligation (PSO) contracts.
In light of the Authority's responsibility in this area, I have forwarded the Deputy's specific question in relation to public transport services provided under public service obligation contracts in Galway city, including the individual routes and the companies that are operating them, to the NTA for direct reply. Please advise my private office if you do not receive a response within ten working days.
