Dáil Éireann Debate, Thursday - 9 November 2023
198. Deputy Pádraig O'Sullivan asked the Minister for Transport if his Department will liaise with the NTA to see if a review is complete with respect to a service (details supplied) in County Cork which they state they would undertake following correspondence received in September 2021; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [49122/23]
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 Authority's responsibility in this area, I have forwarded the Deputy's question related to a review services in County Cork, to the NTA for direct reply. Please advise my private office if you do not receive a response within ten working days.
