Dáil Éireann Debate, Thursday - 30 March 2023
122. Deputy Michael Healy-Rae asked the Minister for Transport if he will review the standard of bus being used for the LocalLink services (details supplied); and if he will make a statement on the matter. [15844/23]
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 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 TFI Local Link services in Kerry, 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.
