Dáil Éireann Debate, Thursday - 27 October 2022
265. Deputy Holly Cairns asked the Minister for Further and Higher Education, Research, Innovation and Science if he will provide details of his engagement with the Minister for Transport concerning the provision of public transport services for disabled persons attending vocational training services and post-secondary school-based courses. [54102/22]
Amharc ar fhreagraI met with the Minister for Transport in September to discuss transport options for students across the third level sector, including issues relating to access to public transport.
I am keen to continue engagement on this issue, given the critical role played by accessible and affordable public transport in facilitating access to tertiary education.
The provision of public transport services falls within the remit of the Department of Transport and the Deputy may wish to engage further with the Minister for Transport regarding her query.
