I propose to take Questions Nos. 202 and 203 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 (NTA) has statutory responsibility for securing the provision of public passenger transport services nationally and for the scheduling of these services in conjunction with the relevant transport operators.

As such I have forwarded the Deputy's questions regarding the bus terminus, and traffic disruptions in Finglas village to the NTA for direct reply. Please advise my private office if you do not receive a response within ten working days.
