295. To ask the Minister for Transport, Tourism and Sport if either the NTA or Bus Éireann record the number of occasions on which passengers on the NX Navan-Dublin route are unable to board due to buses reaching capacity; the number of such instances recorded in 2025 and to date in 2026; and the measures being taken to ensure sufficient capacity for commuters from Navan and surrounding areas.

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 query raised by the Deputy is an operational matter for Bus Éireann. I have, therefore, referred the Deputy's question to the company for direct reply. Please advise my private office if you do not receive a reply within ten working days.
