Dáil Éireann Debate, Thursday - 15 January 2026
160. Deputy Darren O'Rourke asked the Minister for Transport the funding that has been provided for new public transport services in County Meath for 2026; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [1405/26]
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 and monitoring the provision of public passenger transport services nationally, including allocating funding to Transport Coordination Units. 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.
