Dáil Éireann Debate, Thursday - 18 June 2026
165. Deputy Seán Kyne asked the Minister for Transport whether he will engage with the National Transport Authority to consider providing regional offices and staff to provide a better regional service for local authorities, Oireachtas members and members of the public; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [45628/26]
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 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.
