Public Accounts Committee: Financial Statements 2022: National Transport Authority (2 May 2024)

Cormac Devlin: I appreciate why Ms Graham does not want to focus on one operator, but the area where I live has quite a high level of the routes that Go-Ahead operates so she will forgive me saying that I receive many complaints about that particular operator. When I raised it last year, the reason given was Covid. I understand it is now recruitment issues. I appreciate that is a real issue right across...

Alan Kelly: I welcome the witnesses. I have a few technical questions that are very different. It will be no surprise to our witnesses that I will be concentrating on rural issues for a change. I appreciate that there has been a dramatic increase in connectivity in rural Ireland over the past few years. I acknowledge that. There are criticisms of other things but I really want to acknowledge that. I...

Brian Stanley: I understand that. It was a policy decision. That is banked. I accept Mr. Doocey's word on that. I will not go there as we are not going to discuss policy. That is for a different forum. I will turn to something more minor, which is bus stops. Ms Graham, you will not be surprised I am revisiting this. You and I have had many conversations and I thank you for your help over the years....

Catherine Murphy: My question is the one the witnesses are expecting me to ask them. It relates to the bolt-on process, or likely bolt-on process, with regard to Kilcock and DART+ West. Is the NTA working on a bolt-on process? As the witnesses are aware, there will be big railway sheds in Kilcock. The train is coming to Kilcock but people cannot get on or off and the railway station is only a few hundred...

Brian Stanley: I would like to move on to active travel. The public often ask what active travel is. It is walking, cycling and wheeling, which I think means scooters. In 2022, €310 million was allocated for active travel and some good work has been done. There are a couple of issues, however. I am saying this to be helpful. Yesterday, I gave the example of €200,000 allocated for the...

Ms Anne Graham: Yes, we have to respond to it. BusConnects and its sustainable transport corridors are about at least providing space from one end of the journey to the other where we know we can predict the journey time on a much more reliable basis for those services. That is what we are trying to deliver on all of the 12 corridors leading into the city centre. We are also planning to...

Catherine Murphy: Finally, I want to ask about the L58. I am not talking about taking a service away from people but I told the NTA it would not work before it was introduced. I do not think it was the original plan and it is not meeting people's needs. The service is there but obviously people are not using it. That said, we cannot leave people stuck either. There is a big industrial development planned...
