Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 30 January 2024
192. Deputy Sean Sherlock asked the Minister for Transport the cost of the PSO funding required to bring forward the Cork Network plan currently timetabled for 2025/2026 to 2024, by bus route on the BusConnects Cork network, in tabular form. [3907/24]
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 request to the NTA for direct reply. Please advise my private office if you do not receive a response within ten working days.
