Dáil Éireann Debate, Thursday - 1 February 2024
39. Deputy Peadar Tóibín asked the Minister for Transport if his attention has been drawn to the enormous number of bus cancellations on the NX and 109 bus services through Navan, County Meath; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [4167/24]
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 decisions in relation to the routes of these services in conjunction with the relevant transport operators.
The issue raised by the Deputy in relation to cancellations on the NX and 109 routes is service delivery issue and a matter for the NTA and Bus Éireann. Therefore, I have referred the Deputy's question to the NTA for direct reply. Please advise my private office if you do not receive replies within ten working days.
