As the Minister for Transport, I have responsibility for policy and overall funding in relation to public transport. However, I am not involved in the day-to-day operations of public transport.

The issue raised is a matter for the National Transport Authority (NTA) in conjunction with Bus Éireann. I understand from the NTA that no change is planned to the PSO subvented route 51 from Galway to Limerick to Cork.
