Dáil Éireann Debate, Thursday - 22 September 2022
52. Deputy Duncan Smith asked the Minister for Transport the actions that he plans to take to address the ongoing service issues in the Greater Dublin Area, with specific regard to the bus services operated by an organisation (details supplied) including the 33A, 33B, and 102 services; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [46139/22]
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 ongoing service issues in the Greater Dublin Area, with bus services operated by Go-Ahead Ireland including the 33A, 33B, and 102 services, to the NTA for direct reply. Please advise my private office if you do not receive a response within ten working days.
