Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 24 September 2024
93. Deputy Thomas Gould asked the Minister for Transport the number of times drivers have submitted complaints regarding the condition of the buses for the direct award urban contracts in Cork, in each of the past 12 months, in tabular form. [37388/24]
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 this case Bus Éireann.
In light of Bus Eireann’s responsibility in this area, I have forwarded the Deputy's question to the company for direct reply. Please advise my private office if you do not receive a response within ten working days.
