I propose to take Questions Nos. 1366 and 1372  together.

As Minister for Transport, Tourism and Sport, I have responsibility for policy and overall funding in relation to public transport.  Matters relating to the opening of individual railway stations are day-to-day operational issues for Iarnrod Eireann in the first instance and I have no function in such matters.

Noting this I have referred the Deputy’s question to the NTA for direct reply.  Please advise my private office if you don’t receive a reply within 10 working days
