207. Deputy Aisling Dempsey asked the Minister for Transport the current status of the proposed enhancement of the NX Navan-Dublin service; the date on which the proposed 24% increase in peak-time service levels is expected to commence; and if additional capacity will be provided where passenger demand continues to exceed available capacity following implementation of the revised timetable. [67578/26]

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 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.
