View answer104. Deputy Paul Murphy asked the Minister for Transport when the next phase of BusConnects in Dublin will be rolled out; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [20786/23]
View answerI propose to take Questions Nos. 80 and 104 together.
As 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 the planning and development of public transport infrastructure in the Greater Dublin Area, including BusConnects Dublin.
Noting the NTA's responsibility in the matter, I have referred the Deputy's question to the NTA for a direct reply. Please contact my private office if you do not receive a reply within 10 days.
