National Transport Authority
Seanad Éireann — 2026-04-29
============================================================

Michael Moynihan (FF), Cork North-West

In regard to the Senator's points on further expansion and further change in legislation, that will come in due course. There is serious engagement by the NTA, the Department of Transport and indeed the whole of the Government in relation to funding for Galway for transport infrastructure as well as other issues. The wider point is that if there is a link from the local authorities and the communities right up to the national office, many times some of what can become big issues can be seen earlier on in the process and can be resolved locally. I certainly will bring the proposal back. I will ensure it is given huge consideration at both the NTA offices and in the Department of Transport.
