Question 250: To ask the Minister for Transport if his attention has been drawn, by the management of Iarnród Éireann or Corás Iompar Éireann, to a plan to sell, lease or donate its rolling stock, which is surplus to requirements as a result of its renewal programme over recent years, to Israel; if he has had discussions with the management of Iarnród Éireann or Corás Iompar Éireann regarding the appropriateness of this plan in view of Israel's occupation or settlement policy of Palestinian territories which is contrary to several UN resolutions; and if he will make a statement on the matter.

My attention has not been drawn by CIE or Irish Rail to the matter referred to by the Deputy. In the normal course CIE or Irish Rail would not inform me about the sale or disposal of railway rolling stock as it is an operational matter for Irish Rail.
