As 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.
As such, the issue raised by the Deputy in relation to the performance for the Bus Éireann Route 109 Drogheda-Blanchardstown service for the months January-March 2024; and plans to improve this service, are operational matters for Bus Éireann.
I have, therefore, referred the Deputy's questions to Bus Éireann for direct reply. Please advise my private office if you do not receive a reply within ten working days.
