Minister for Transport

I propose to take Questions Nos. 159 and 171 together.

As Minister for Transport, I have responsibility for policy and overall funding in relation to public transport.

The issues raised are matters for the National Transport Authority (NTA) in conjunction with the relevant bus operators. Therefore, I have forwarded the Deputies questions to the NTA for direct reply. Please advise my private office if you do not receive a response within ten working days.

A referred reply was forwarded to the Deputy under Standing Order 51
