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 in conjunction with the relevant operators.   

Therefore, I have forwarded the Deputy’s question, in relation to Go-Ahead Ireland bus services to the NTA for direct reply.  Please advise my private office if you do not receive a reply within ten working days.
