Public Accounts Committee

Financial Statements 2022: National Transport Authority

9:30 am

Ms Anne Graham:

It is open to everyone and anyone who sees a commercial business opportunity to provide a service from the airport to other locations in the city, or outside the city, to come forward with an application. We do not limit the licence applications. We assess whether the licence application can support the overall growth in public transport services. We do not like to see a reduction in a public transport service. Our obligation is to see whether there is a PSO to provide additional services when a service is reduced. In this case, we do not believe there is a PSO to provide a service from Greystones after 8 p.m. directly to the airport. There is enough of a network of services. Naturally, the journey time would be longer.
