Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 12 December 2023
230. Deputy Patrick Costello asked the Minister for Transport how Dublin Bus is planning to make transport more accessible for people with mobility issues and particularly for wheelchair users; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [55262/23]
View answerAs Minister for Transport, I have responsibility for policy and overall funding in relation to public transport.
Under the Dublin Transport Authority Act 2008, the National Transport Authority (NTA) has statutory responsibility for promoting the development of an integrated, accessible public transport network. The NTA also has statutory responsibility for securing the provision of public passenger transport services nationally.
In light of the NTA's responsibilities for accessibility of buses, I have forwarded your question to the NTA for direct reply to you. Please advise my private office if you do not receive a response within ten working days.
