Question:
To ask the Minister for the Economy to detail (i) any engagement she has had with the Department for Infrastructure regarding Translink's proposed cuts in service offering; and (ii) whether her Department has assessed the impact the proposed cuts will have on further and higher education learners across Northern Ireland.

Answer:

These matters fall within the remit of the Minister for Infrastructure. Translink is currently conducting a public consultation on its proposals, and I would encourage all interested parties, including students and education providers to engage with that process.
