Dáil Éireann Debate, Thursday - 21 September 2023
139. Deputy Bernard J. Durkan asked the Minister for Transport if a bus service from Leixlip to Maynooth can be provided, as such service currently only goes to Intel, making it difficult for elderly people who have friends and family in Maynooth; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [40947/23]
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 question to the NTA for direct reply. Please advise my private office if you do not receive a response within ten working days.
