To ask the Minister for Transport, Tourism and Sport if he will consider the re-opening of the Killucan and Multyfarnham Stations on the Dublin to Sligo rail line, as studies have shown that hundreds of people would access these stations if they were up and running; and if he will make a statement on the matter.

The re-opening of railway stations is a matter for Iarnród Éireann in the first instance, and therefore I have forwarded your Question to the CEO of Iarnród Éireann for direct reply.  I would ask the Deputy to contact my Office if a reply has not been received within ten days. For the Deputy's information, funding for the re-opening of Killucan and Multyfarnham stations has not been included in the transport allocation under the  "Infrastructure and Capital Investment 2012-16: Medium Term Exchequer Framework " and therefore there  are no Exchequer funds available for these projects to 2016.
