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 the provision of public transport infrastructure as well as the provision of an accessible, integrated public transport system for all users. The NTA works with the relevant public transport companies, as appropriate.
In light of the NTA's responsibilities, including the provision of accessible public transport services for people with disabilities in county Kerry, I have forwarded your question to the NTA for direct reply to you. Please advise my private office if you do not receive a response within ten working days.
