Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 25 July 2023
248. Deputy Cormac Devlin asked the Minister for Transport if he will provide an update on his officials’ engagements with the NTA surrounding the rollout of 24-hour bus services in Dublin, in particular the N11; when it is expected; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [36806/23]
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 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.
Therefore, in light of the NTA's responsibility in this matter, I have forwarded the Deputy's specific question in relation to the rollout of 24-hour bus services in Dublin, in particular the N11, to the NTA for direct reply. Please advise my private office if you do not receive a response within ten working days.
