Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 9 April 2024
238. Deputy Bernard J. Durkan asked the Minister for Transport the extent to which it might be possible for the 139 bus service to service Clonaugh, County Kildare; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [14806/24]
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 decisions regarding the routes of these services in conjunction with the relevant transport operators, in this instance JJ Kavanagh & Sons Limited.
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.
