Question 196: To ask the Minister for Transport if persons with disabilities have adequate access to a train service between Limerick and Dublin; if his attention has been drawn to the fact many of the direct trains have been replaced by the Dublin to Cork service with a change at Limerick Junction for Limerick; if he will engage with Iarnród Éireann to address the difficulties this causes to persons with disabilities; and if he will make a statement on the matter.

I understand from Iarnród Éireann that three off-peak direct trains between Limerick and Dublin in each direction have been replaced with connecting trains via Limerick Junction. An all day shuttle train service is provided to and from Limerick City. Iarnród Éireann has also informed me that assistance is given to disabled passengers at Limerick Junction for customers changing trains and this can be arranged in advance if necessary.
