Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 9 July 2024
166. Deputy Aindrias Moynihan asked the Minister for Transport the progress to date to ensure all services run by Local Link Cork are wheelchair accessible; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [29754/24]
View answerAs 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 securing the provision of public passenger transport services nationally. The NTA also has national responsibility for accessible, integrated local and rural transport, including TFI Local Link services and the roll-out of services under the Connecting Ireland Rural Mobility Plan.
In light of the NTA's responsibilities for accessible public transport services, including TFI Local Link in County Cork, I have referred your question to the NTA for direct reply to you. Please advise my private office if you do not receive a reply within ten working days.
