Minister for Transport, Tourism and Sport

The issue raised is a matter for Bus Eireann and any other public or private transport service licensed by the National Transport Authority (NTA) to operate in the areas referred to by the Deputy.  I have forwarded the Deputy's question to both Bus Eireann and the NTA for direct reply.  Please advise my private office if you do not receive replies within ten working days.
