Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 30 September 2025
277. Deputy Emer Currie asked the Minister for Transport if consideration is being given to specific measures to support commuters residing in areas closer to city and town centres whose bus services are at capacity before reaching their locality at peak times; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [51497/25]
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.
