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 and timetabling of these services in conjunction with the relevant transport operators. In addition the NTA also has responsibility for decisions in relation to the routes and bus stops for these services.
In light of the Authority's responsibility in this area, I have forwarded the Deputy's question in relation to Bus Éireann service 115, to the NTA for direct reply. Please advise my private office if you do not receive a response within ten working days.
