Dáil Éireann Debate, Thursday - 1 February 2024
69. Deputy Paul Murphy asked the Minister for Transport to provide further details on the increase in frequency and capacity for the red line Luas promised by the National Transport Authority, including when it will be implemented; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [4413/24]
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 these services in conjunction with the relevant transport operators.
The issues raised by the Deputy are operational matters for the NTA and Transdev. Therefore, I have referred the Deputy's question to the NTA for direct response. Please advise my private office if you do not receive replies within ten working days.
