Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 1 October 2024
75. Deputy Pádraig O'Sullivan asked the Minister for Transport if he is aware of concerns regarding the infrequent bus service to Rocky Island, Cork, which serves in excess of 250 personnel living in Haulbowline (details supplied); if this issue can reviewed and addressed; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [39019/24]
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 the planning and development of public passenger transport services nationally, including the scheduling and timetabling 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.
