As Minister for Transport, I have responsibility for policy and overall funding in relation to public transport.
The National Transport Authority (NTA) has statutory responsibility for securing the provision of public passenger transport services nationally. The NTA also has national responsibility for integrated local and rural transport, including TFI Local Link services, delivering the Connecting Ireland Rural Mobility Plan and New Town Services.
In light of the NTA's responsibilities for the roll-out of new services, including in Counties Louth and Meath, I have referred your question to the NTA for direct reply to you regarding the roll-out of routes in those counties . Please advise my private office if you do not receive a reply within ten working days.
