734. To ask the Minister for Transport, Tourism and Sport if bus route X7 from Clonmel to Dublin was revoked; if it was revoked by Bus Éireann or the National Transport Authority; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [17549/17]

I am aware that Bus Éireann has announced changes to a limited number of its Expressway services, including the X7 Clonmel to Dublin service. The National Transport Authority (NTA) has published an assessment of the transport impact of those changes and invited feedback on that assessment from any interested parties. I would encourage the Deputy to submit any views he might have to the NTA in that regard.

Commercial bus routes, such as the Expressway X7, are licensed by the National Transport Authority (NTA) under the Public Transport Regulation Act 2009. Issues regarding revocation of licenses are a matter for the relevant transport operator in consultation with the NTA and I have therefore forwarded the Deputy's question to the NTA for direct reply. Please advise my private office if you do not receive responses within ten working days.
