As Minister for Transport, Tourism and Sport, I have responsibility for policy and overall funding in relation to public transport.  Matters relating to  train stations, including the installation of ticketing machines, are day-to-day operational issues for Iarnród Eireann in the first instance and I have no function in such matters.

Noting this I have referred the Deputy's question to the Chief Executive of Iarnród Eireann for direct reply.  Please advise my private office if you don't receive a reply within 10 working days.
