Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 1 April 2025
279. Deputy John Clendennen asked the Minister for Transport if any bus routes were ceased by the NTA in 2023, and 2024; the details of any ceased routes; their duration of operation by commercial operators; and whether the NTA proposes to offer compensation for the cessation of these routes; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [15116/25]
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 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.
