730. Deputy Bernard J. Durkan asked the Minister for Transport, Tourism and Sport if the 120 bus route from Edenderry, County Offaly, will be retained as a public route with particular reference to the numbers of persons who currently avail of this bus route; if he will alleviate concerns of commuters who are worried regarding the plans to privatise this route; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [30750/14]
Amharc ar fhreagra807. Deputy Seán Kyne asked the Minister for Transport, Tourism and Sport the progress of opening up public transport routes to other transport providers; if he will confirm that acceptance of the free travel pass will be a requirement for any new services taking over contracts from Bus Éireann or Dublin Bus; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [31584/14]
Amharc ar fhreagraI propose to take Questions Nos. 730 and 807 together.
The direct award contracts for the provision of Public Service Obligation (PSO) bus market services held by Dublin Bus and Bus Éireann expire later this year. The awarding of subsequent contracts is the statutory responsibility of the National Transport Authority (NTA).
All Dublin Bus and Bus Éireann routes will be included in the new five year direct award contracts which the NTA will enter into with the companies next December. However, the NTA announced that 10% of publicly subvented bus services will only remain within the direct award contracts until the end of 2016 after which they will be operated under separate contracts that will have been competitively tendered. In the case of Dublin Bus services, the routes that will be opened to tender are the orbital routes and some local routes around the city. For Bus Éireann services, the routes for tender will be the city services in Waterford and certain commuter routes into Dublin along the N4 and N7 corridors, including route 120 from Tullamore.
The principal concern when looking at the future of bus services is to provide a better service to those people who currently use those services, and more importantly, getting those people who don’t, to use those bus services. As at present, the fares, timetables and service standards will be set by the NTA. I have been informed that the NTA intends that free travel passes will be honoured by any new operator and is currently in discussion with the Department of Social Protection in this regard. The tendering of these services will therefore not lead to a downgrading of services to bus users. The purpose of the tendering is to secure a better service for the same cost.
Tendering will give the opportunity to test market pricing and offer possibilities to improve efficiency and customer service and I would describe the overall level of tendering as being modest. The contract will go to the best competent tenderer and I expect both Dublin Bus and Bus Eireann to apply for such tenders. The NTA expects that the procurement process for the routes to be tendered will begin in December 2014 leading to the award of the contract in March 2016 with the successful operator commencing services in late 2016.
731. Deputy Timmy Dooley asked the Minister for Transport, Tourism and Sport when he will issue revised guidelines on the application of special speed limits nationwide; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [30775/14]
Amharc ar fhreagraThe Road Traffic Act 2004 established default speed limits that apply to defined categories of roads. These limits may, however, be amended by the elected members of local authorities by means of Special Speed Limit Orders, and Section 9 of the 2004 Act sets out the range of special speed limits available to local authorities for that purpose. To assist in setting Special Speed Limits, my Department issued Guidelines for the Application of Special Speed Limits to all local authorities in January 2011 and the onus is on all local authorities to take the Guidelines into account when setting special speed limits.
The Speed Limits Review, which I published on the 21st November 2013, contains eighteen actions which are designed to address a number of matters relating to the operation of speed limits on Irish roads. I have accepted all the recommendations contained in the Report and established an Implementation Working Group to assist with implementation of the recommendations, which, I expect will be in place over a two year period.
732. Deputy Terence Flanagan asked the Minister for Transport, Tourism and Sport if he will provide an update on the open skies policy; the studies that have been carried out to show the impact this policy would have on the Irish aviation industry in the medium to long-term; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [30783/14]
Amharc ar fhreagraIt is presumed that the Deputy's question refers to proposals in the draft National Aviation Policy that I published recently, to adopt a liberal approach to requests from airlines to operate 'fifth freeom' traffic rights on routes to/from Ireland. Such an approach would, for example, allow a non-EU airline to pick up passengers in Ireland on routes to the US in competition with Irish (EU) carriers and US carriers who are already allowed to serve this market on an unrestricted basis under the EU-US Open Skies agreement.
The benefits of Open Skies policies at EU level have been demonstrated. The liberalisation of the intra-EU market in the 1990s has led to huge growth in the number of routes being operated and competition has led to lower fares for consumers. Similarly the Open Skies agreements negotiated with the US and Canada have also led to a significant increase in the number of services on offer and has had a beneficial impact on prices.
The draft National Aviation Policy was published following an extensive public consultation process in 2013. The consultation process covered all elements of aviation policy and the draft takes account of the submissions received. On the issue of fifth freedom traffic rights for airlines, the majority of submissions received favoured the adoption of a fully liberalised approach. The policy proposal in Section 3.1 is that a liberal approach should be taken by my Department to any requests from non EU and non US airlines to serve routes to/from Ireland where there is a clear benefit for Ireland and the travelling public.
I have invited submissions from interested parties on the draft National Aviation policy by 31 July. Airlines and any other interested parties have an opportunity through the consultation process to express their views on this proposal and all other proposals in the draft before the closing date for submissions.
733. Deputy Róisín Shortall asked the Minister for Transport, Tourism and Sport the arrangements in place to ensure appropriate redeployment arrangements in the Road Safety Authority for driver testers who may be affected by a road traffic accident in the course of their work, which results in them not being able to continue in that role; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [30826/14]
Amharc ar fhreagraStaffing issues and any redeployment arrangements for driver testers is a matter for the Road Safety Authority. I have therefore referred the question to the Authority for direct reply. I would ask the Deputy to contact my office if a response has not been received within ten days.
734. Deputy Michael McCarthy asked the Minister for Transport, Tourism and Sport the engagement he has had to date to ensure the viability of Cork Airport and to attract new routes to the airport; if he is satisfied with the level of growth being achieved by the airport; his views on establishing a service between Cork Airport and Dublin Airport in view of the need for air connectivity between the country's two largest cities; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [30856/14]
Amharc ar fhreagraDublin Airport Authority has statutory responsibility to operate, manage and develop both Dublin and Cork Airports and as such the promotion of new routes to the airport and the development of a service between Cork and Dublin Airport are matters for the Company.
Cork Airport management is well aware, as am I, of the importance of developing key access routes and the role the airport plays as the international gateway to the Cork City region and the south of Ireland. The Airport works continuously with airlines to develop new connections with the rest of Europe and has generous new Route Incentive Schemes and commensurate Marketing Support to share the risks with their airline partners. I understand that the Airport Authority is engaging with airlines about the potential re-introduction of a Cork/Dublin service as a feeder for transatlantic services at Dublin Airport and I hope the Authority is successful in this regard.
The Deputy will also be aware that the Cork Airport Development Council has been established to work with airport management to develop initiatives that support sustainable traffic in 2014 and beyond. The establishment of the Cork Airport Development Council is a welcome development and evidence of the strong commitment in the region to the success of the airport.
735. Deputy Andrew Doyle asked the Minister for Transport, Tourism and Sport the position regarding an application for funding from Wexford County Council in respect of Gorey showgrounds under the sports capital grant; the reason they received no funding under this grant; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [30945/14]
Amharc ar fhreagraThe club referred to by the Deputy applied for a grant under the 2014 Sports Capital Programme. A total of 2,036 applications were received under the Programme seeking €160m in funding. €40.5m was allocated to 880 separate projects. Given the level of demand for funding and the amount of funding available under the Programme, it is unfortunately not possible to allocate grants to every eligible applicant. All of the funding for the 2014 Sport Capital Programme has now been allocated and there is no more funding available at this time.
736. Deputy Dara Calleary asked the Minister for Transport, Tourism and Sport the assistance that may be available to minority sports (details supplied) towards the cost of affiliation to their governing bodies; the qualifying criteria should any assistance be available; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [30970/14]
Amharc ar fhreagraThe Irish Sports Council, which is funded by my Department, is the statutory body with responsibility for the promotion, development and co-ordination of sport, including the allocation of funding for the National Governing Bodies of Sport (NGBs). As this question is a matter for the Irish Sports Council, I have referred it to the Irish Sports Council for direct reply. I would ask the Deputy to inform my office if a reply is not received within 10 days.
737. Deputy Dominic Hannigan asked the Minister for Transport, Tourism and Sport if concerns have been raised with him in relation to section 3.1 of the draft national policy for aviation here and this sections possible impact on Irish airlines and their profitability; his Department's response to these concerns; when the policy will be finalised; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [30981/14]
Amharc ar fhreagra739. Deputy Olivia Mitchell asked the Minister for Transport, Tourism and Sport his response to concerns expressed by those in the Irish airline industry regarding the proposal in the draft national policy for aviation which would permit non-EU-USA airlines pick up passengers in competition with EU airlines. [30996/14]
Amharc ar fhreagra789. Deputy Finian McGrath asked the Minister for Transport, Tourism and Sport his views on correspondence (details supplied) regarding the draft national policy for aviation in Ireland; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [31394/14]
Amharc ar fhreagra791. Deputy Gerald Nash asked the Minister for Transport, Tourism and Sport his views that section 3 - Air Services and Connectivity - and section 3.1 - Market Access Rights - of the national policy for aviation in Ireland which is currently in draft form has the potential, if adopted, to put Irish registered airlines at a distinct competitive disadvantage when opened up to direct competition with airlines registered outside of the EU and US; if he will consider the potential implications for the terms and employment conditions of Irish aviation sector workers, if the policy as currently presented were to be adopted; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [31422/14]
Amharc ar fhreagraI propose to take Questions Nos. 737, 739, 789 and 791 together.
I have received a number of submissions/comments concerning the proposals set out in Section 3.1 of the draft National Aviation Policy for Ireland which was published on 21 May 2014. The draft National Aviation Policy was developed following a public consultation process in 2013. The consultation process covered all elements of aviation policy and the draft National Aviation Policy takes account of the submissions received. On the issue of fifth freedom traffic rights for airlines, the majority of submissions received favoured the adoption of a fully liberalised approach.
The policy proposal in Section 3.1 is that a liberal approach should be taken by my Department to any requests from non EU and non US airlines to serve routes to/from Ireland where there is a clear benefit for Ireland and the travelling public.
I have invited submissions on the draft National Aviation policy published on 21 May. Airlines and any other interested parties have an opportunity through the consultation process to express their views on this proposal and all other proposals in the draft before the closing date for submissions on 31 July.
738. Deputy Barry Cowen asked the Minister for Transport, Tourism and Sport if he will provide, in tabular form and on a county basis, the number of applications for the sports capital grant; the number of successful applications; the number of unsuccessful applications; the number of applications deemed invalid; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [30995/14]

740. Deputy Mary Mitchell O'Connor asked the Minister for Transport, Tourism and Sport now that the improvement works to the Athlone bypass have been completed,when he will issue an order incorporating this road into the M6 motorway; if he does not intend to do so, if he will explain the rationale behind not including this in the project design; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [31011/14]
Amharc ar fhreagraAs my colleague Minister Varadkar responded to the Deputy in his response to PQ 29480/14 on 8 July 2014, there are no plans to re-designate the Athlone Bypass as part of the M6 motorway at present. The Athlone Bypass has been in place since the 1990's and was designed and built to dual carriageway standard with a 100km per hour speed limit so it predates the upgrade of other sections of the Dublin to Galway route, now the M6. The final section of the M6 was opened in December 2009.
In 2008, the National Roads Authority (NRA) made an application to my Department for the re-designation of the N6 Athlone Bypass as a motorway. This application was carefully considered but was ultimately turned down for a variety of reasons. For example, reclassification would result in pedestrians, cyclists, local traffic and agricultural vehicles being prohibited from using the bypass which includes a bridge over the River Shannon. Given the lack of suitable alternative crossing points over the Shannon this would have the undesirable impact of forcing traffic, including large agricultural vehicles, back into Athlone Town. This of itself would have had significant traffic and road safety implications for all road users in the absence of an alternative crossing point. An alternative would be to provide a further bridge across the Shannon, but in the current economic climate, this is not feasible.
741. Deputy Terence Flanagan asked the Minister for Transport, Tourism and Sport his views on correspondence (details supplied) regarding the driver licence office; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [31023/14]
Amharc ar fhreagra745. Deputy Seán Kenny asked the Minister for Transport, Tourism and Sport when will the proposed driver licence centre (details supplied) in Dublin 17 open; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [31137/14]
Amharc ar fhreagraI propose to take Questions Nos. 741 and 745 together.
The operation of the National Driver Licensing Service is the statutory responsibility of the Road Safety Authority and I have therefore referred the questions to the Authority for direct reply. I would ask the Deputies to contact my office if a response has not been received within ten days.
742. Deputy Áine Collins asked the Minister for Transport, Tourism and Sport in view of the restructuring of the rural transport programme into the 18 transport co-ordination units, if he anticipates that there will be job losses; and if so, the redundancy that will be put in place. [31048/14]
Amharc ar fhreagra743. Deputy Charlie McConalogue asked the Minister for Transport, Tourism and Sport the number of staff currently employed by the rural transport programme that will be made redundant as a result of restructuring of the programme into 18 transport coordination units; the redundancy packages that will be made available to these staff members; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [31051/14]
Amharc ar fhreagraI propose to take Questions Nos. 742 and 743 together.
Following a Government Decision in January 2012, responsibility for the integration of local and rural transport services, including management of the Rural Transport Programme (RTP), was assigned to the National Transport Authority (NTA) with effect from 1st April 2012. This includes responsibility for implementing the restructuring of the RTP announced by me on 9th July 2013. I have forwarded your specific questions to the NTA for direct reply. Please advise my private office if you do not receive a response within 10 working days.
744. Deputy Sean Fleming asked the Minister for Transport, Tourism and Sport when his Department will publish its annual report for 2013. [31135/14]
Amharc ar fhreagraMy Department's Annual Report for 2013 was published on Wednesday 25th June and is available from the Dail Library and on my Department's website at the following link http://www.dttas.ie/corporate/publications/english/annual-report-2013.
746. Deputy John Paul Phelan asked the Minister for Transport, Tourism and Sport if Iarnród Éireann plans to have a second track side by side with the current Waterford to Dublin line; if so, when is this likely to happen; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [31143/14]
Amharc ar fhreagraAs Minister for Transport, Tourism and Sport I have responsibility for policy and overall funding in relation to public transport. Matters relating to the development of individual rail lines, such as Dublin to Waterford, are a matter for Iarnród Éireann in the first instance. Iarnród Éireann have made no proposal to my Department in relation to a second track on the Waterford-Dublin line. As the Deputy will be aware, CIE is in a difficult financial position and is dependent on continued bank funding. It has no resources of its own available to fund new rail projects and there is no funding in the current capital plan for expansion of the heavy rail network.
The lifetime of the Government's current capital investment plan runs to 2016 and with the available funding the priority for heavy rail is to protect the operational network and maintain safety standards, rather than the expansion of the network. The bulk of the funding is required for rail safety and renewal.
Preparatory work on a new government capital investment plan to 2019 has begun. This will involve a focused review of the current plan and take account of investment priorities for the next five years. If additional funds are available over and above what is required to maintain existing assets there will be many competing transport projects across all modes. Only projects for which there is a clear identifiable need, which are affordable, have a robust business case and add value to existing infrastructure, will be prioritised for funding in the new capital plan.
747. Deputy Dominic Hannigan asked the Minister for Transport, Tourism and Sport further to Parliamentary Question No. 723 of 8 April 2014, if he will provide an update; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [31193/14]
Amharc ar fhreagraAs Minister for Transport, Tourism & Sport, I have responsibility for overall policy and funding in relation to the national roads programme. The planning, design and implementation of individual road projects (such as the Slane Bypass) is a matter for the National Roads Authority (NRA) under the Roads Acts 1993 to 2007 in conjunction with the local authorities concerned. Within its capital budget, the assessment and prioritisation of individual projects is a matter in the first instance for the NRA in accordance with Section 19 of the Roads Act.
As indicated in the response to the Deputy's previous question (PQ 16519/14 of 8 April 2014) on the matter, Minister Varadkar attended a meeting with Meath County Council and the NRA in May 2013 regarding the traffic situation in Slane. The conclusion from that meeting was that Meath County Council would produce a Traffic Management Plan for Slane.
Noting the above position, I have referred the Deputy’s question to the NRA who can confirm by direct reply if such a study has been submitted to them by Meath County Council. Please advise my private office if you don’t receive a reply within 10 working days.
748. Deputy Ruth Coppinger asked the Minister for Transport, Tourism and Sport the steps he will take to ensure private clamping operators will provide communication access for the deaf community; the steps he has, and will implement on the regulation of private clamping companies; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [31196/14]
Amharc ar fhreagraFurther to the Programme for Government’s commitment to regulate clamping, I announced the publication of the Vehicle Clamping Bill 2014 on June 9th last. Under this Bill it will be the function of the National Transport Authority (NTA) to regulate clamping activities in places where clamping is operated, and to provide for matters relating to the establishment and administration of a two-stage appeals process. The Bill provides that, among the activities for which the NTA may regulate, is the form and content of information provided by electronic or other means to the public in relation to clamping activities in any particular place.
749. Deputy Patrick O'Donovan asked the Minister for Transport, Tourism and Sport the reason an application from a club (details supplied) in County Wexford for the sports capital programme 2014 was deemed invalid; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [31320/14]

[31375/14]
Amharc ar fhreagraI propose to take Questions Nos. 749 to 765, inclusive, and 785 to 787, inclusive, together.
The organisations referred to by the Deputy applied for grants under the 2014 Sports Capital Programme. When the 2014 Programme was advertised my Department issued a guide to filling out the application form which clearly set out the Department’s minimum requirements that applicants had to meet to be considered for funding. I do not consider it appropriate to publish details of why individual applications were deemed invalid. Applications were deemed invalid primarily for one or more of the following reasons:
- Title/Access requirements of the Sports Capital Programme not satisfied
- Insufficient evidence of planning permission, planning application, or exemption from planning
- Evidence of own funding not provided in prescribed format
- Insufficient own funding
All applicants have been informed of the outcome of the assessment of their application, including details of why an application was deemed to be invalid.
