43. Deputy Neasa Hourigan asked the Minister for Transport for a monthly breakdown of the number of bus services scheduled by Dublin Bus and Go Ahead in Dublin city; the number of those services cancelled for the period 1 July 2022 to 30 June 2024; his views on the frequency of cancellations; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [30090/24]
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 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 request to the NTA for direct reply. Please advise my private office if you do not receive a response within ten working days.
