As Minister for Transport, I have responsibility for policy and overall funding in relation to public transport. The National Transport Authority has statutory responsibility for securing the provision of public passenger transport services nationally by way of public transport services contracts, and for the allocation of associated funding to the relevant transport operators.

In light of the Authority's responsibility in this area I have forwarded the Deputy’s question in relation to the no. 360 bus route to the NTA for direct reply. Please advise my private office if you do not receive a reply within ten working days.
