187. To ask the Minister for Transport, Tourism and Sport the reason that Bus Éireann route 30-X30 from Donegal town departing at 4 a.m. to Dublin Airport was cancelled on 13 February 2023 without prior notification to waiting passengers; if his attention has been drawn to reports that passengers who booked tickets for the service missed flights while others were late for work in Dublin; and if he will make a statement on the matter.

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.

Further, Bus Éireann's Expressway services, including route 30/X30, are commercial bus services and responsibility for the operation of those services is a matter for the company.

I have, therefore, referred the Deputy's question to Bus Éireann for direct reply. Please advise my private office if you do not receive a reply within ten working days.
