Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 14 October 2025
258. Deputy John Connolly asked the Minister for Transport for an update on discussions between the National Transport Authority and Bus Éireann regarding capacity improvements on routes 419 and 424 in County Galway (details supplied). [54849/25]
Amharc ar fhreagraAs Minister of State at the Department of Transport with special responsibility for Rural 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 this case Bus Éireann.
In light of the above, I have forwarded the Deputy's question to the NTA and Bus Éireann for direct reply. Please advise my private office if you do not receive a response within ten working days.
