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 management of the Rural Transport Programme which operates under the TFI Local Link brand.

In light of the NTA's responsibilities for TFI Local Link services, including route 277 in County Kerry, I have referred your question to the NTA for direct reply to you. Please advise my private office if you do not receive a reply within ten working days.
