I propose to take Questions Nos. 335 and 336 together.

As 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 scheduling of these services.  Therefore, the issues raised are a matter for the NTA in conjunction with Bus Éireann, and I have forwarded the Deputy's questions to the NTA for direct reply.

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