Dáil Éireann Debate, Thursday - 17 October 2024
78. Deputy Pauline Tully asked the Minister for Transport the actions he has taken to increase the capacity of the 109X Dublin to Cavan bus service which is oversubscribed; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [42113/24]
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.
The query raised by the Deputy is an operational matter for Bus Éireann in conjunction with the NTA. I have, therefore, referred the question to the Bus Éireann for direct reply. Please advise my private office if you do not receive a reply within ten working days.
