231. To ask the Minister for Transport, Tourism and Sport if he will review the decision to change the timing of bus routes by a private operator in County Kildare which will affect persons in towns in County Kildare (details supplied); the alternative options which will be available for persons that use these services; and if he will make a statement on the matter.

​While the service in question is licensed by the National Transport Authority (NTA) under the Public Transport Regulation Act 2009, the scheduling of such licensed commercial bus services is a matter for the operator concerned and not one in which I have any function.

I am aware that the NTA is currently considering the changes announced to this specific route  and the options that may be available in this regard 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 a response within ten working days.
