As Minister for Transport, I have responsibility for policy and overall funding in relation to public transport. The National Transport Authority (NTA) has statutory responsibility for securing the provision of public passenger transport services nationally, including the tendering of Public Service Obligation routes.

In view of the above, I 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.
