Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 13 January 2026
523. Deputy Sinéad Gibney asked the Minister for Transport the steps his Department will take to expand bus services in Stepaside, Glencullen, and Kiltiernan beyond current BusConnect plans, in order to address severe traffic congestion issues and lack of public transport capacity and reliability; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [74122/25]
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 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.
