The Deputy will be aware that enhanced, improved and expanded public transport services across the country were announced last week as part of the Government's Jobs Stimulus Plan. Included in the Plan are new public transport services for Drogheda and enhancement of the existing 189 bus service. Planning for the roll out of the new services and enhancement of existing services will be undertaken by the National Transport Authority (NTA) in conjunction with the various operators, including Bus Éireann.

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.
