Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 11 June 2024
161. Deputy Michael Healy-Rae asked the Minister for Transport what the protocol is regarding inspectors on Bus Éireann stopping elderly people from going on the bus because their public services card would not scan (details supplied); and if he will make a statement on the matter. [25518/24]
View answerAs 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 matter raised is an operational matter for the company. I have, therefore, referred the Deputy's question to Bus Éireann for direct reply. Please advise my private office if you do not receive a reply within ten working days.
