View answerI propose to take Questions Nos. 193 to 195, inclusive, and 200 together.
As 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.
As the issues raised by the Deputy are operational matters for Bus Éireann, I have forwarded the Deputy's question to the company for direct reply. Please advise my private office if you do not receive a response within ten working days.
