BusConnects Dublin is a transformative programme of investment in the existing bus system, providing better bus services to more people. It is part of the biggest ever investment in our bus system in the history of the State. Five phases of the Network Redesign have rolled out in recent years and this roll-out will continue in the coming years, subject to funding and human resource availability.

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 BusConnects Dublin.

Noting the NTA's responsibility in the matter, I have referred the Deputy's questions to the NTA for a direct reply. Please contact my private office if you do not receive a reply within 10 days.
