MOTION NO. 14

MOTION: Councillor E. Tuffy

That this Council is not satisfied with the consultation procedures used by Dublin Bus in regard to changes in networks, routes and services either consultation with members of the public in different parts of the County, or consultation with councillors at the Council level or Area Committee level, and requests the Manager to arrange for the Council to meet with representatives of the National Transport Authority to discuss Dublin Bus services in the County.

REPORT:

Dublin Bus made a presention to the Transportation Strategic Policy Committee at its meeting in May 2010  and also to the May 2011 OP&F Committee Meeting to explain how its Network Direct programme was being developed and implemented.  It is understood that a range of local and regional meetings were also held to consider the views of the Members and the public.  It is considered appropriate that any meeting with the National Transport Authority should also be arranged through the Strategic Policy Committee.

If the Motion is passed the Chief Executive of the National Transport Authority will be written to and requested to attend a future meeting of the SPC.  The Members will be informed of the outcome.
