Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 30 June 2026
232. Deputy Emer Currie asked the Minister for Transport the assessment that has been carried out of rural transport needs in Dublin west; whether any proposals are under consideration to expand Local Link or other rural transport services in the area; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [49567/26]
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.
Dublin West comes under the remit of the Greater Dublin area, and is not part of the TFI Local Link Rural Transport Programme.
The National Transport Authority (NTA) has statutory responsibility for securing and monitoring the provision of public passenger transport services nationally. 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.
