Dáil Éireann Debate, Monday - 11 September 2023
411. Deputy Paul Murphy asked the Minister for Transport further to Parliamentary Question No. 318 of 13 June 2023, which was referred to the National Transport Authority (NTA) for reply, if he will ask the NTA for concrete actions it will take to resolve the issue with public transport in the Knocklyon area; if he will follow up with the NTA directly to ensure these actions are implemented; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [39219/23]
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 the BusConnects Dublin programme.
Noting the NTA's responsibility in the matter, I have referred the Deputy's question to the NTA for a direct reply regarding the implementation of the BusConnects programme and public transport improvements in the Knocklyon area. Please contact my private office if you do not receive a reply within 10 days.
