Dáil Éireann Debate, Wednesday - 9 April 2025
38. Deputy John Paul O'Shea asked the Minister for Transport the measures being put in place to provide adequate coach parking facilities in Dublin for the upcoming concert season; if engagement has taken place with stakeholders to prevent congestion, ensure health and safety and to facilitate seamless transport for event attendees; and if he will make a statement on the matter.

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, nor do I have a role in the sourcing of a location for coach parking.
In Dublin City, the provision of coach parking is a matter for Dublin City Council (DCC). The National Transport Authority operates one coach park in the Dublin Docklands between 7am and 7pm, and I am advised the operating hours of this facility are restricted by a DCC planning condition.
Therefore your query related to locations for a coach park in Dublin City should be sent to DCC for direct reply.
