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 national responsibility for integrated local and rural transport, including management of the Rural Transport Programme, which operates under the TFI Local Link brand. The School Transport Scheme is funded by and falls under the remit of the Department of Education. As such, queries in relation to School transport provision in Clondulane village should be directed to the Minister of Education.
In light of the NTA's responsibilities for TFI Local Link services, including funding of TFI Local Link services in Cork, I have referred your question to the NTA for direct reply to you. Please advise my private office if you do not receive a reply within ten working days.
