Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 18 May 2021
260. Deputy Noel Grealish asked the Minister for Transport the status of the direct award contract with Bus Éireann; if Bus Éireann is operating on a month-by-month contract basis at present; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [26082/21]
Amharc ar fhreagraAs Minister for Transport, 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, and for the allocation of associated funding to the relevant transport operators.
In view of the above I 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.
