Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 14 June 2022
110. Deputy Darren O'Rourke asked the Minister for Transport if he has examined expanding late night public transport services in urban areas to provide additional transport options at night; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [30743/22]
Amharc ar fhreagraThe Minister for Transport has responsibility for policy and overall funding in relation to public transport; however, he is 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, including night-time bus services.
In light of the Authority's responsibility in this area, I have forwarded the Deputy's specific question in relation to the possible examination of expanding late night public transport services in urban areas to provide additional transport options at night, to the NTA for direct reply. Please advise my private office if you do not receive a response within ten working days.
