​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 planning and development of public transport infrastructure in the Greater Dublin Area.

In accordance with Dublin Transport Authority Act 2008, as amended, the NTA has statutory responsibility for securing the provision of or providing bus stops, bus shelters, bus stations, stands and bus fleets in the State. Accordingly, I have referred your question to the NTA for reply.  Please advise my private office if you don't receive a reply within 10 working days.
