Dáil Éireann Debate, Thursday - 22 June 2023
194. Deputy Bernard J. Durkan asked the Minister for Transport the extent, if any, to which research is being done to identify any shortcomings and provide for future transport needs of current or future commuters across north Kildare; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [30461/23]
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 the planning and development of public transport infrastructure in the Greater Dublin Area, including development and implementation of the Transport Strategy for the Greater Dublin Area 2022- 2042.
The Transport Strategy for the Greater Dublin Area (GDA) provides a framework for the planning and delivery of transport infrastructure and services in the GDA, including County Kildare.
Noting the NTA's responsibility in this matter and the specific issues raised by the Deputy, I have referred the Deputy's questions to the NTA for a more detailed reply. Please contact my private office if you do not receive a reply within 10 days.
