The commercial bus and coach sector provides public transport services under licence from the National Transport Authority (NTA). Arising from their function in this regard, the NTA has recently undertaken a public consultation on "Transitioning to a Wheelchair Accessible Licensed Bus Sector".

I understand that the NTA is currently examining the responses to this public consultation process and will be providing me with its recommendations within the next month.
