218. To ask the Minister for Transport, Tourism and Sport if he will intervene with Irish Rail and urge it to operate a full Monday to Friday schedule on its DART, commuter and Intercity services in view of the restrictions on passenger capacity and the likely increase in numbers travelling; his views on the proposal of Irish Rail not to operate a full service until September 2020 on many of its services; and if he will make a statement on the matter.

As Minister for Transport, Tourism and Sport, I have responsibility for policy and overall funding relating to public transport. However, I am not involved in the day-to-day operation of public transport.
The issue raised is a matter for the National Transport Authority (NTA) in conjunction with Iarnród Éireann and I have therefore referred the Deputy's question to the NTA for direct reply.
Please advise my private office if you do not receive a response within ten working days.
