Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 13 June 2023
287. Deputy Patrick O'Donovan asked the Minister for Transport the consideration, if any, that has been given to the provision of linking Croom Orthopaedic Hospital through the public transport network, specifically the bus service to and from Limerick; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [27692/23]
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.
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 light of the NTA's responsibility in this area, I have forwarded the Deputy's question in relation to public transport from Croom Orthopaedic Hospital to Limerick, to the NTA for direct reply. Please advise my private office if you do not receive a response within ten working days.
