​As Minister for Transport, Tourism and Sport, I have responsibility for policy and overall funding in relation to public transport.  However, I am not responsible for, or involved in, the day-to-day operations of Iarnród Éireann's services, they are a matter for the company itself.

Therefore, I have forwarded your question to Iarnród Éireann for a more detailed reply.  Please advise my private office if you do not receive a reply within 10 working days.
