Joint Oireachtas Committee on Transport, Tourism and Sport

Engagement with Chairpersons Designate of Bus Éireann, Bus Átha Cliath and Iarnród Éireann

Mr. Frank Allen:

There is what I would describe as a commitment to providing commuter rail services in the regional cities. We got a very positive response to that. It is all framed by the availability of funding. That is the issue. The Department of Transport has responded positively to our suggestion that to have balanced regional development, regional cities will need commuter rail services. That includes the double-track initiative the Chairman mentioned.
