Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 12 December 2023
205. Deputy Thomas Gould asked the Minister for Transport whether he is aware that buses stopping on MacCurtain Street are indicating ‘Victorian Quarter’ as their stopping point despite this not being an official or recognised name for the area. [54668/23]
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 decisions in relation to the routes of these services in conjunction with the relevant transport operators.
The question raised by the Deputy in relation to buses in Cork City bound for MacCurtain Street advertising their destination as "Victorian Quarter" is an operational matter for Bus Éireann in conjunction with the NTA. I have, therefore, referred the Deputy's question to Bus Éireann and the Authority for direct reply. Please advise my private office if you do not receive a reply within ten working days.
