Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 22 October 2024
171. Deputy Réada Cronin asked the Minister for Transport if the National Transport Authority has plans to improve public transport links between towns in south Kildare and Dublin city, especially for daily commuters; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [42542/24]
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.
