As explained in my previous response on 23rd September 2015 the National Transport Authority (NTA) has statutory responsibility for the licensing of the Bus and Coach sector under the Public Transport Regulation Act 2009. Having received the finalised report on Transitioning to a Wheelchair Accessible Licensed Bus Sectorfrom the NTA, my Department has been considering the recommendations of the report but I understand from the NTA that it is continuing discussions with operators in the sector on technical and funding aspects of the issue.
