​As Minister for Transport, Tourism and Sport I have responsibility for policy and overall funding in relation to public transport.  The National Transport Authority (NTA), has statutory responsibility for the procurement of the bus fleet for PSO services, including Dublin Bus's PSO services. The procurement of buses for Dublin Bus's commerical services are a matter for Dublin Bus itself.

Noting the NTA's responsibility in the matter raised, I have referred your letter to the NTA for a more detailed reply.  Please advise my private office if you do not receive a reply within ten working days.
