The provision of bus services and the routes they take are operational matters for Bus Éireann in conjunction with the National Transport Authority (NTA).  I have referred the Deputy's question to both the company and the NTA for direct reply.  Please advise my private office if you do not receive a reply within 10 working days. Under the Public Transport Regulation Act 2009, responsibility for the licensing of public bus passenger services rests with the NTA.
