Amharc ar fhreagra82. Deputy Noel Grealish asked the Minister for Transport the progress that has been made by the National Transport Authority in undertaking a review of the Galway bus network; the format that the review will take; when it is expected to be completed; and if he will make a statement on the matter.

Amharc ar fhreagraI propose to take Questions Nos. 81 and 82 together.
As Minister for Transport, I have responsibility for policy and overall funding in relation to public transport. The National Transport Authority (NTA) has responsibility for the planning and development of public transport in our cities, including bus infrastructure and services.
Noting the NTA's responsibility in the matter, I have referred the Deputy's question to the NTA for a direct reply on the specific issues raised. Please contact my private office if you do not receive a reply within 10 days.
