Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 12 December 2023
203. Deputy Sorca Clarke asked the Minister for Transport what plans she has in place to ensure that the profound impact the changing of bus routes 17 and 18 is having on the students from a school (details supplied) is dealt with accordingly. [54596/23]
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 regarding the impact of the changes to the no. 17 and no. 18 bus routes, to the NTA for direct reply. Please advise my private office if you do not receive a response within ten working days.
