Minister for Transport, Tourism and Sport

I share the concerns of local residents, teachers and parents of school children in the area. However, the issues raised are primarily matters for the National Transport Authority (NTA) and I have forwarded the Deputy's questions to the NTA for direct reply. Please advise my private office if you do not receive a response from the NTA within ten working days.
