The issue referred to by the Deputy is an operational matter for Iarnród Eireann. Under the provisions of the Railway Safety Act 2005, the safety of the mainline railway network, including level crossings, is a matter for Iarnród Eireann in accordance with its Safety Case as accepted by the Railway Safety Commission under Section 46 of the Act.
