Dáil Éireann Debate, Thursday - 26 February 2026
203. Deputy Paul McAuliffe asked the Minister for Transport his plans to ensure the NTA and service providers such as Dublin Bus are adequately resourced to ensure punctuality of routes across Dublin 9 and 11; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [15296/26]
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. I continue to engage with the NTA on an ongoing basis in relation to maintaining high operational standards on all forms of public transport.
In light of the NTA's responsibility in this area, I have forwarded the Deputy's query to the NTA for direct reply. Please advise my private office if you do not receive a response within ten working days.
