Dáil Éireann Debate, Wednesday - 25 January 2006
901 Mr. Curran asked the Minister for Transport the plans submitted by Dublin Bus to his Department regarding the quality bus corridor on the Nangor Road, Clondalkin; when this plan will be approved; and if additional funding will be provided to Dublin Bus to acquire additional buses to provide a service on this quality bus corridor for the people of Clondalkin.

Amharc ar fhreagraI understand that Dublin Bus is currently finalising the review of its bus network and I expect to receive the completed report shortly. The company has just submitted an application for funding for additional fleet requirements, which has due regard to the emerging findings of the network review. I will make a decision when the assessment has been completed. While the document includes proposed improvements for the Clondalkin area, the deployment of its fleet is a day to day matter for Dublin Bus.
I understand that the south Clondalkin QBC is almost completed. Upon resolution of some outstanding issues by the contractor, South Dublin County Council will be in a position to issue the remaining certificates of completion and take possession of the entire site. It is hoped that the corridor will be operational in the near future.
