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

I am unaware of any correspondence from the Decade of Centenaries committee of Carlow County Council in relation to the naming of the new footbridge at Carlow town train station being received by my Department.

The query raised in relation to the footbridge is an operational matter for Iarnród Éireann, therefore I have forwarded the Deputy's question to the company for direct reply. Please advise my private office if you do not receive a response within ten working days.
