Joint Oireachtas Committee on Transport, Tourism and Sport

Capital Projects and Operations: Iarnród Éireann

Mr. Jim Meade:

We grew by 22% year on year from 2022 to 2023. We were still in recovery mode and we still had approximately 20% growth. It was predominantly intercity routes, which was the regions coming from and going to Dublin. All the intercity routes, bar none, are add more than 100% of where they were previously. We have three business units covering intercity, the commuter area and the DART. The commuter area within a radius of 60 km from Dublin to places such as Portlaoise and Longford was the next best it is probably between 95% and 98% depending on which route. The DART which is the electrified network on the east coast is only just over 90% because we still see a lot of white-collar blended working that. The regional routes into Dublin have shown by far the biggest growth.
