837. To ask the Minister for Transport, Tourism and Sport if he will provide details of the policy of Iarnród Éireann regarding the operation of diesel trains that remain in stations in residential areas; if there is a policy of not allowing such engines to stand idle with engine running for longer than 15 minutes; if this policy is observed; the way it is monitored; if the policy allows for engines to be turned off after 15 minutes, only to be re-started again; and if Iarnrod Éireann is aware that this is a particular problem in Grand Canal Dock.
