Dáil Éireann Debate, Thursday - 18 December 2025
319. Deputy Niamh Smyth asked the Minister for Transport further to Parliamentary Question No. 271 of 4 November 2025, the anticipated timeframe for a decision on the provision of additional or revised bus stop facilities at Ardkill Place, Ballinagh, County Cavan, under the bus stop enhancement programme; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [73497/25]
View answerAs Minister for Transport, I have responsibility for policy and overall funding in relation to public transport. The National Transport Authority (NTA) has responsibility for the planning and development of public transport infrastructure, including the provision of bus stops/shelters nationally.
There is a commitment under the Programme for Government to ensure that public transport operators provide safe and accessible access for all passengers and a commitment to work with local authorities and national bodies to improve public transport options and infrastructure.
Noting the NTA's responsibility in the matter, I have referred the Deputy's question to the NTA for a direct reply. Please contact my private office if you do not receive a reply within 10 days.
