The Quality Bus Network plays a vital role in transport in the Greater Dublin Area (GDA). This is recognised in my Department's ten-year investment plan, Transport 21, which provides funding for the extension and improvement of the Network.
Over time, various pinchpoints on the Network have emerged and, earlier this year, the Quality Bus Network Project Office (QBNPO), in conjunction with the local authorities, drew up a list of these pinchpoints and has identified appropriate corrective measures in each case. These measures have been incorporated into QBNPO work programme, and I have asked that they be addressed as a matter of priority.
