A decision to provide a bus service or to alter the level or route of a bus service is part of the day-to-day responsibilities of Dublin Bus and my Department has no function in these matters. However, since 10 January 2001, Dublin Bus is required by ministerial direction to notify my Department of proposed new services or proposed changes to existing services at least four weeks prior to their introduction. My Department has not received any notifications of service changes for the bus routes mentioned by the Deputy.
