Dáil Éireann Debate, Thursday - 13 February 2025
155. Deputy Jerry Buttimer asked the Minister for Transport if he will provide information on the possibility of developing a bus route to run between Ringaskiddy and Crosshaven, County Cork, to benefit school students (details supplied); and if he will make a statement on the matter. [5428/25]
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 request to the NTA for direct reply. Please advise my private office if you do not receive a response within ten working days.
