Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 2 May 2017
1380. Deputy Kevin O'Keeffe asked the Minister for Transport, Tourism and Sport if he will liaise with the National Transport Authority with a view to providing additional bus services for a specific route (details supplied) in County Cork. [20476/17]
Amharc ar fhreagraAs the Deputy is aware, the NTA did carry out and publish an assessment prior to the withdrawal of the X7 Expressway service from Clonmel to Dublin. That assessment is available to view on the NTA's website and made some alterations to the scheduling of certain rural transport services to ensure continued connectivity with the other licensed bus services which operates the Clonmel to Dublin route. In publishing its assessment, the NTA invited feedback from interested parties and I am sure they would be interested to hear any views the Deputy might have. While it is open to the Deputy to directly contact the NTA to provide feedback on their published assessment, I have forwarded the Deputy's question to the NTA for direct reply. Please advise my private office if you do not receive a response within ten working days.
The referred reply under Standing Order 42A was forwarded to the Deputy.
