Committee on Transport
National Transport Authority: Engagement
2:00 am
Mark Duffy (Fine Gael)
Close enough, Chair. I welcome Mr. Creegan, Mr. Nott and Mr. Gillard. I wish to follow up and raise directly catering on the Mayo-to-Dublin line. It has been stopped for the past four years. Like Sligo, it is quite a long journey, up to four hours at times. I have, over recent years, been advocating for the introduction of early-morning rail services between Mayo and Dublin, which have been really well received and used, and indeed later evening services. What has come up time after time, however, is catering and refreshments on services. Specifically as regards the Mayo-Dublin line, can the NTA provide an update on the introduction of this service? It supposedly had been at a tender stage. I would like an update on that.
