Written answers

As 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 decisions in relation to the routes of these services in conjunction with the relevant transport operators. In addition, the NTA is also responsible for determining the organisation of shared systems such as real-time passenger information (RTPI).

The issue raised by the Deputy in relation to a service delivery issues a matter for the NTA and Dublin Bus. Therefore, I have referred the Deputy's question to the NTA and Dublin Bus for direct response to the Deputy. Please advise my private office if you do not receive replies within ten working days.

A referred reply was forwarded to the Deputy under Standing Order 51
