Amharc ar fhreagra932. Deputy Robert Troy asked the Minister for Transport, Tourism and Sport the process by which a person (details supplied) was selected as consultant on the BusConnects process; the tender process for this appointment; and the number of persons considered. [45670/18]
Amharc ar fhreagraI propose to take Questions Nos. 931 and 932 together.
As Minister for Transport, Tourism and Sport, I have responsibility for policy and overall funding in relation to public transport. The NTA has statutory responsibility for the planning and development of public transport infrastructure in the Greater Dublin Area, including BusConnects.
Noting the NTA's responsibility for implementation of public transport in the Greater Dublin Area, I have referred the Deputy's question to the NTA for a more detailed reply. Please contact my private office if you do not receive a reply within 10 days.
