Joint Oireachtas Committee on Arts, Heritage, Regional, Rural and Gaeltacht Affairs

Sustaining Viable Rural Communities: Discussion (Resumed)

2:30 pm

Mr. Ray Hernan:

We work very closely with the National Transport Authority, NTA, to produce a timetable that Bus Éireann ultimately operates. The timetable is assessed based on the demand and, ultimately, the funding that is available. We would love to operate both to more destinations and a more frequent service. There is an increasing demand. I accept as the chief executive officer, CEO, of Bus Éireann that peak times are changing to earlier in the morning and later in the evening and there is also a much bigger demand at weekends. We are actively engaging with the NTA to provide a service that is more fitting with the changing circumstances of our customers in the marketplace.
