Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 20 February 2024
199. Deputy Thomas Gould asked the Minister for Transport to outline each of the bus routes that was contracted to Bus Éireann previously but is now under a private commercial operator including year the contracted operator changed, in tabular form. [8051/24]
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 NTA’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.
