Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 21 October 2025
255. Deputy Natasha Newsome Drennan asked the Minister for Transport to provide data on the current usage of public bus transport services between Carlow and Dublin City; the details on when and the way in which additional capacity is added or scaled; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [56897/25]
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.
