Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 26 May 2026
363. Deputy Louis O'Hara asked the Minister for Transport when a new bus service will be implemented between Athenry and Galway; when a decision will be made in relation to this; the expected annual cost of providing this PSO service; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [39115/26]
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.
In light of the NTA’s responsibility in this area, I have forwarded the Deputy's question to the NTA for direct reply. Please advise my private office if you do not receive a response within ten working days.
