Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 13 June 2023
292. Deputy Michael Healy-Rae asked the Minister for Transport if he will provide details on an extra route to be added to the transport of patients from Kenmare Hospital, County Kerry, to Killarney (details supplied); and if he will make a statement on the matter. [27858/23]
View answerAs the Minister for Transport, I have responsibility for policy and overall funding in relation to 'open' public transport services. This means that dedicated or 'closed' transport services, such as HSE health transport services, fall outside of my remit. As the Deputy's office confirmed to my office that his question relates to a Health Services Executive (HSE) transport service, the Minister for Health and the HSE would be best placed to provide information on such services.
