Dáil Éireann Debate, Thursday - 8 September 2022
274. Deputy Holly Cairns asked the Minister for Transport if he will increase the frequency of buses on the 226 Cork-Airport-Kinsale route to reflect the growing demand on this popular route for residents and tourists. [43808/22]
View answerAs Minister for Transport, I have responsibility for policy and overall funding in relation to public transport. However, I am not involved in the 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 of these services in conjunction with the relevant transport operator, in this case, Bus Éireann. I have, therefore, 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.
