As Minister of Transport, I have responsibility for policy and overall funding of public transport. The operation, maintenance and renewal of the rail network, including signalling and associated supporting IT systems, is a matter for Iarnród Éireann in the first instance.

In view of Iarnród Éireann's responsibility in this matter, I have referred the Deputy's question to the company for more detailed reply. Please contact my private office if you do not receive a reply within 10 working days.

314. To ask the Minister for Transport, Tourism and Sport the number of signalling faults recorded at Connolly station to date in 2023. [28390/23]

As the 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 issue of the number of signalling faults recorded at Connolly station to date in 2023 is an operational matter for Iarnród Éireann and I have therefore forwarded the Deputy's question to the company for direct reply.

Please advise my private office if you do not receive a response within ten working days.
