Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 31 January 2023
216. Deputy Jennifer Whitmore asked the Minister for Transport if he will outline the increased investment being made on LocalLink services in Wicklow, including future plans for service extension; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [4282/23]
View answerAs Minister for Transport, I have responsibility for policy and overall funding in relation to public transport.
The National Transport Authority (NTA) has statutory responsibility for securing the provision of public passenger transport services nationally. The NTA also has national responsibility for integrated local and rural transport, including the Rural Transport Programme management, which operates under the TFI Local Link brand.
In light of the NTA's responsibilities for public transport services, including in County Wicklow, I have referred your question to the NTA for direct reply to you. Please advise my private office if you do not receive a reply within ten working days.
