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 National Transport Authority (NTA) has statutory responsibility for securing the provision of public passenger transport services nationally and for the allocation of associated funding to the relevant transport operators. Therefore, the issue raised is a matter for the NTA and I have forwarded the Deputy's question to the Authority for direct reply.

Please advise my private office if you do not receive a response within ten working days.
