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 number of fines and their amounts issued to Bus Éireann in relation to bus cancellations, lateness and no shows for the 115 Bus Éireann service , to the NTA for direct reply. Please advise my private office if you do not receive a response within ten working days.
