Joint Oireachtas Committee on Transport, Tourism and Sport: Sustainable Travel Operations Update: National Transport Authority (10 Jul 2024)

Cathal Crowe: I welcome the representatives from the National Transport Authority. I thank them for their engagement. I have quite a few bits to put to them so I will go fairly quickly if that is okay. First, I wish to raise the whole issue of Local Link services, which I raised in the committee last week with the Minister, Deputy Eamon Ryan. Over the past 18 months, many new accommodation centres...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Transport, Tourism and Sport: Sustainable Travel Operations Update: National Transport Authority (10 Jul 2024)

Cathal Crowe: I thank Ms Graham very much. I appreciate that. Next, I want to raise the issue of capacity on some services at certain times, which was mentioned in the NTA’s opening statement.

What is becoming a huge trend is that the early morning trains...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Transport, Tourism and Sport: Sustainable Travel Operations Update: National Transport Authority (10 Jul 2024)

Cathal Crowe: The carriages should be going west and south in the night-time. That is certainly how the airline industry works. The capacity goes a certain way in the morning. Next, I want to ask about an issue that I raised as a parliamentary question. It was responded to yesterday evening, and I thank the NTA for that. Licences are granted by the NTA for day trip coach tour operators. I will not...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Transport, Tourism and Sport: Sustainable Travel Operations Update: National Transport Authority (10 Jul 2024)

Cathal Crowe: I think at a minimum they should elongate their schedules because they drive around like shuttles. They go around Doolin, the Cliffs of Moher and west Kerry where there are no roads that can take these vehicles. They are under this insane pressure to make it to the location where they get to the ferry to the Aran Islands, which I think is at Ros a Mhíl. They are under this insane...
