I refer the Deputy to my reply to Question No. 507 of 26 September 2007 which was as follows:

The provision of services on the Dublin to Westport line is a matter for Iarnród Éireann. However, I understand that the resignalling works on the Westport and Ballina lines have recently been completed. I have also been informed by the company that they intend to introduce new rolling stock on the service in late 2008 and that this will result in an increase in the daily frequency of service on the line from the current level of three services each way to five services each way.

The position remains the same.
