Dáil Éireann Debate, Thursday - 6 July 2023
179. Deputy Michael McNamara asked the Minister for Transport when he will meet with the Shannon Airport Authority to discuss plans to improve public transport access to Shannon Airport, Ireland’s greenest airport; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [33285/23]
Amharc ar fhreagraI would like to thank the Deputy for this question.
As 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 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 question to the NTA for direct reply, in relation to future plans for public transport service provision to Shannon Airport. Please advise my private office if you do not receive a response within ten working days.
