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, the rollout of services under the Connecting Ireland Rural Mobility Plan as well as developing new and enhanced Town bus services.

As with all plans, any funding for town bus services will be subject to the annual Budgetary and Estimates process.
