231. Deputy Ken O'Flynn asked the Minister for Transport to provide the Department’s estimate of the current national shortfall in buses required to meet contractual and public-service obligations, including Local Link expansion and rural-service demand. [69687/25]
View answerAs Minister of State at the Department of Transport with special responsibility for Rural Transport, I have responsibility for policy and overall funding in relation to rural public transport service provision; however, I am not involved in the day-to-day operations.
The National Transport Authority (NTA) has statutory responsibility for securing the provision of public passenger transport services nationally. In light of the NTA responsibilities 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.
