To ask the Minister for Transport, Tourism and Sport if, in view of the concern of residents in the West Cavan area regarding the proposed curtailment of services by Bus Éireann on the No. 30 route servicing Swanlinbar/Bawnboy/Ballyconnell and Belturbet to Cavan Town as such a proposed ending of services will disadvantage a large number of persons dependent on public transport; if he will convey to Bus Éireann the need to retain this service; and if he will make a statement on the matter.

The provision of bus services is an operational matter for Bus Éireann, in conjunction with the National Transport Authority, and not one in which I have any role.  I have referred the Deputy's question to the company for direct reply.  Please advise my private office if you do not receive a reply within 10 working days.
