Question 530: To ask the Minister for Transport if his attention has been drawn to the ongoing disruption to commuter services on the Ennis-Limerick rail service in County Clare; if this ongoing closure will have implications for the reopening of the western rail corridor; if his Department has held discussions with Iarnród Éireann and the Office of Public Works to urge a resolution of this problem; and if he will make a statement on the matter.

I am aware of the disruption to rail services on the Ennis/Limerick rail line. As the matter is an operational one for Iarnród Éireann, I have not had discussions with Iarnród Éireann and/or the Office of Public Works.

While my Department is kept informed of the situation, the date of the re-opening of the Western Rail Corridor is a matter for Iarnród Éireann.
