As Minister for Transport, I have responsibility for policy and overall funding in relation to public transport. The National Transport Authority (NTA) has responsibility for the planning and development of public transport infrastructure, including BusConnects.

Noting the NTA's responsibility in the matter, I have referred the Deputy's question to the NTA for a direct reply. Please contact my private office if you do not receive a reply within 10 days.

I propose to take Questions Nos. 259, 260, 261, 262 and 264 together.

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 has statutory responsibility for securing the provision of public passenger transport services nationally and for the regulation of fares charged to passengers in respect of public transport services, provided under public service obligation (PSO) contracts. The Authority is also responsible for the collection and publication of statistics relating to public transport.

In light of the Authority's responsibility in these matters, I have forwarded the Deputy's questions to the NTA for direct reply. Please advise my private office if you do not receive a response within ten working days.
