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 decisions in relation to the routes of those services.

In light of the NTA's responsibility in this area, I have forwarded the Deputy's specific question in relation to Waterford City Bus Services to the NTA for direct reply. Please advise my private office if you do not receive a response within ten working days.
