As Minister for Transport, Tourism and Sport, I have responsibility for policy and overall funding of public transport. The National Transport Authority (NTA) has a statutory responsibility for the provision of rail infrastructure in the Greater Dublin Area, into which the rail service about which the Deputy is asking operates).

In view of the NTA's responsibility in these matters, I have referred the Deputy's question to it for direct reply.  Please contact my private office if you do not receive a reply within 10 working days.
