As Minister for Transport, Tourism and Sport, I have responsibility for policy and overall funding in relation to public transport. 

Issues such as that raised by the Deputy are an operational matter for the individual public transport operator, in this instance Iarnród Éireann. 

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