As Minister for Transport, Tourism and Sport I have responsibility for policy and overall funding in relation to public transport. Operational matters such as those described by the Deputy are a matter for Iarnród Éireann.

In light of the Iarnród Éireann's responsibilities on this matter, I have referred the Deputy's question to the Company for a direct and more detailed reply. Please advise my private office if you do not receive a reply within 10 working days.
