As Minister for Transport, Tourism and Sport, I have responsibility for policy and overall funding in relation to public transport. However, I am not involved in the day-to-day management and operations of public transport.

Any plans to conduct an impact assessment on transport capacity at Connolly Station in connection with any particular planning application would be a matter for Córas Iompair Éireann (CIÉ), in conjunction with Iarnród Éireann. Therefore, I have forwarded the Deputy's question to CIÉ for direct reply. Please advise my private office if you do not receive a response within ten working days.
