Dáil Éireann Debate, Wednesday - 22 May 2024
50. Deputy Paul Donnelly asked the Minister for Transport the number of contracts tendered to public transport companies to cover routes previously covered by private transport companies from 2020 to date in 2024. [23245/24]
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 the scheduling and timetabling of these services in conjunction with the relevant transport operators.
In light of the NTA’s responsibility in this area, I have forwarded the Deputy's question to the NTA for direct reply. Please advise my private office if you do not receive a response within ten working days.
