Dáil Éireann Debate, Thursday - 20 May 2021
188. Deputy Bríd Smith asked the Minister for Transport the numbers of routes, the areas serviced and the operators that have informed the National Transport Authority of a plan to withdraw scheduled non-public service obligation funded services including those currently receiving funding as a result of the Covid-19 crisis since 2020; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [27289/21]
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.
