I imagine the Minister is aware of reports and findings from across the water which clearly...

Ceisteanna Eile - Other Questions: Public Transport Expenditure (6 Nov 2018)

Imelda Munster: The Minister seems to have handed over responsibility. I am surprised. The question was very direct and precise and I thought he would be only too happy to deal with it.

Imelda Munster: The Minister has ignored the rail review over the past two years. It was flagged on numerous occasions that there are serious safety concerns around it.
