Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 12 December 2023
202. Deputy James Lawless asked the Minister for Transport to examine and address issues with the X31 Dublin Bus service (details supplied); whether there are plans in place to address the reliability of this service; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [54586/23]
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.
The questions raised by the Deputy in relation to the X31 bus route in Dublin are an operational matter for Dublin Bus. I have, therefore, referred the Deputy's question to the NTA and Dublin Bus for direct reply. Please advise my private office if you do not receive a reply within ten working days.
