Section 62 of the Dublin Transport Authority Act 2008 provides that the National Transport Authority (NTA) may designate a bus station in the Greater Dublin Area to be a shared facility. I have referred the Deputy's question to the NTA for direct reply. Please advise my private office if you do not receive a reply within ten working days.
