Ceisteanna (625)

Dessie Ellis

Ceist:

625. Deputy Dessie Ellis asked the Minister for Transport, Tourism and Sport to set out his views on an application to amend Bus Éireann Expressway route number 7, which is intended to abandon historic population centres such as Ballyporeen, Moneygall, Clogheen, Castlecomer, Crettyard, Ardfinnan and others, and which is before the National Transport Authority at present; his further views on whether the route in question is the only publicly operated connection between those population centres and Dublin and Cork cities; and if he will undertake to prevent this further act of abandonment and isolation of rural communities by guaranteeing a level of service which the communities themselves find acceptable.

The issue raised is a matter for the National Transport Authority (NTA) and I have forwarded the Deputy's question to the NTA for direct reply.  He should please advise my private office if he does not receive a reply within 10 working days.
