Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 22 October 2024
177. Deputy Réada Cronin asked the Minister for Transport the plans to provide rural transport links to the Ellistown and Lackagh areas of County Kildare; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [42575/24]
Amharc ar fhreagraAs Minister for Transport, I have responsibility for policy and overall funding in relation to public transport.
The National Transport Authority (NTA) has statutory responsibility for securing the provision of public passenger transport services nationally. The NTA also has national responsibility for integrated local and rural transport, including TFI Local Link services, the Connecting Ireland Rural Mobility Plan and the development of New Town Services.
In light of the NTA's responsibilities for the roll-out of new services, including in County Kildare, 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.
