306. To ask the Minister for Transport, Tourism and Sport to indicate the extent to which extra bus shelters can be provided in Leixlip, Maynooth, Celbridge and Kilcock, an area of rapidly increasing population and reliance on public transport, given most people have to wait for public transport in the open air regardless; 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. The National Transport Authority (NTA) has responsibility for the planning and development of public transport infrastructure, including the national 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.
