As Minister for Transport, I have responsibility for policy and overall funding for public transport.

The National Transport Authority (NTA) has statutory responsibility for securing the provision of public passenger transport services nationally. The NTA also has national responsibility for integrated local and rural transport, including management of Connecting Ireland and new town services.  

In light of the NTA's responsibilities in this matter, including in relation to the introduction of new services in Carlow town, I have referred your question to the NTA for a direct reply to you. Please advise my private office if you do not receive a response within ten working days.
