The National Transport Authority (NTA) and Iarnród Éireann report on the Rail Review was published in 2016.
Since then, the NTA has held a public consultation on the Review. Over 300 submissions were received in response to that consultation process.
The NTA has recently submitted a report of those submissions to my Department. Once I have reviewed the report, I intend to bring it to Government for consideration.
It is my intention that the consultation report should be published by the NTA following consideration by Government. In advance of that, no decisions have been taken regarding matters such as the future of individual rail lines or investment in the company and its relevant infrastructure.
