Dáil Éireann Debate, Wednesday - 5 October 2022
75. Deputy Pádraig O'Sullivan asked the Minister for Transport if he will liaise with the National Transport Authority to have a village (details supplied) in County Cork included in the Local Link service on an existing run; if he will direct them to provide funding in this regard; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [48671/22]
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 statutory responsibility for securing the provision of public passenger transport services nationally. The NTA also has national responsibility for integrated local and rural transport, including the Rural Transport Programme management, which operates under the TFI Local Link brand.
In light of the NTA's responsibilities for public transport services, including in County 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.
