The purpose of providing an new coach park at North Wall was, in part, to address the issue of on-street parking of coaches in the city centre, particularly with regard to the Luas Cross City works and route.
The provision of the Coach Park is a matter for the National Transport Authority (NTA), which has statutory responsibility for the development of public transport infrastructure in the Greater Dublin Area (GDA).
In light of their responsibility in this matter, I have referred the Deputy's question to the Authority for a direct response. Please advise my private office if you do not receive a reply within ten working days.
