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. It is the National Transport Authority (NTA) that has the statutory responsibility for securing the provision of accessible public passenger transport services, in conjunction with the respective service operator. The NTA also provides funding to Local Authorities to install transport infrastructure, for example, accessible bus stops.
As the issues raised by the Deputy concerning Bray Train Station and its environs come under the remit of the NTA, I have forwarded the Deputy's question to them for direct reply. Please advise my private office if you do not receive a response within ten working days.
