84. To ask the Minister for Transport, Tourism and Sport the plans to provide increased public transport either by way of CIÉ or private bus operators to Kilshanroe, Enfield, County Kildare, given the population increase in the area in recent years, and the fact that the 120 bus passes through the village each day but does not stop; 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. The National Transport Authority (NTA) has statutory responsibility for securing the provision of public passenger transport services nationally and for the scheduling and timetabling of these services in conjunction with the relevant transport operators. 

In light of the Authority's responsibility in this area, I have forwarded the Deputy's question in relation to increased public transport to Kilshanroe, Enfield, County Kildare, to the NTA for direct reply. Please advise my private office if you do not receive a response within ten working days.
