Joint Oireachtas Committee on Transport, Tourism and Sport
Bus Services in Counties Dublin, Kildare, Meath and Wicklow: Discussion
Mr. Gareth Quinn:
I will speak on the three routes the Deputy mentioned. I will investigate what the Deputy said about the 41C on 25 and 26 November and either I or our department will give him an answer.
Regarding the 33D, as Mr. Hann has said, we have a very robust set-up with the National Transport Authority. We have weekly meetings and we call it business as usual. We have a log for anything that is brought up by an elected representative or a member of the public, who have plenty of ways to get in contact with us, and even by our own staff. When you are on the front line, you actually see things, and our staff are really good at bringing out and telling us. We as garage managers and area managers then go out, stand at the side of the road and have a look at it. I can say that the 33D is right on the list. We will be looking at it and doing a business case for it, if need be. I will certainly give the Deputy an answer for it.
The same is the case for the 32X. I will have a look at that. Either way, the Deputy will get an answer for it. We will make sure we discuss it with the authority.
