I propose to take Questions Nos. 253, 254 and 258 together.

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 the provision of bus stops and bus shelters.

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.

255. To ask the Minister for Transport, Tourism and Sport the steps he is taking to ensure the return of the Tralee to London Eurolines route. [12809/23]

As the 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 issue raised by the Deputy in relation to the Tralee to London Eurolines route is an operational matter for the company and I have therefore forwarded the Deputy's question to the Bus Éireann for direct reply.

Please advise my private office if you do not receive a response within ten working days.
