195. Deputy Danny Healy-Rae asked the Minister for Transport to provide an update on a project (details supplied) in County Kerry; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [47575/26]

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 Iarnród Éireann and Bus Éireann. I have, therefore, referred the Deputy's question to the companies for direct reply. Please advise my private office if you do not receive a reply within ten working days.
