109. Deputy Seán Crowe asked the Minister for Transport if his Department has had discussions with transport providers to increase the capacity of the bus network in the Crooksling area to allow for the increase in usage by the IPAS residents in the area. [27156/24]
Amharc ar fhreagraAs 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 responsibilities for the provision of public transport services 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.
