Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 15 January 2019
956. Deputy Kevin O'Keeffe asked the Minister for Transport, Tourism and Sport the details of night-time Rural Link services available; and the details of services which were requested and are not available. [1629/19]
Amharc ar fhreagraAs Minister for Transport, Tourism and Sport I have responsibility for policy and overall funding in relation to public transport.
The National Transport Authority (NTA) has statutory responsibility for securing the provision of public passenger transport services nationally. It also has national responsibility for integrated local and rural transport, including management of the Rural Transport Programme (RTP) which now operates under the Local Link brand.
In light of the NTA's responsibilities in this matter I have referred the Deputy's question to the NTA for direct reply. Please advise my private office if you do not receive a reply within 10 working days.
