Dáil Éireann Debate, Thursday - 16 May 2024
91. Deputy Pauline Tully asked the Minister for Transport to detail the consultation his Department engaged in with disabled persons organisations prior to the introduction of floating island bus stops; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [22125/24]
View answerAs Minister for Transport I have responsibility for policy and overall funding in relation to public transport.
Under the Dublin Transport Authority Act 2008, the National Transport Authority (NTA) has statutory responsibility for the provision of public transport infrastructure as well as the provision of an accessible, integrated public transport system for all users.
In light of the NTA's responsibilities for accessible public transport infrastructure, including floating island bus stops, 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.
