Dáil Éireann Debate, Thursday - 7 April 2022
230. Deputy Catherine Murphy asked the Minister for Transport if he will provide a schedule of fines issued by the NTA in respect of late arrival and early departures by route in respect of a company (details supplied), Bus Eireann and Dublin Bus services in the past five years to date in 2022. [19089/22]
Amharc ar fhreagraAs Minister for Transport, I have responsibility for policy and overall funding in relation to public transport; however, I am not involved in the day-to-day operations of public transport. The National Transport Authority (NTA) has statutory responsibility for securing the provision of public passenger transport services nationally and for the scheduling and timetabling of these services in conjunction with the relevant transport operators.
In light of the Authority's responsibility in this area, I have forwarded the Deputy's specific question in relation to the provision of a schedule of fines issued by the NTA in respect of late arrival and early departures by route in respect Go Ahead Ireland, Bus Eireann and Dublin Bus services in the past five years to date, to the NTA for direct reply. Please advise my private office if you do not receive a response within ten working days.
