195. Deputy John Clendennen asked the Minister for Transport for the details of each of the local link routes currently operating within Offaly; the number of passengers per route; the details of the service provider for each route; the cost associated with the provision of each route; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [27645/26]
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 the provision of public passenger transport services nationally including the Connecting Ireland Rural Mobility Plan and TFI Local Link services. 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.
