As Minister for Transport, I have responsibility for policy and overall funding in relation to public transport; However, I am not involved in day-to-day operations of public transport services. The National Transport Authority (NTA) has responsibility for the collection and publication of statistics relating to public transport.

Therefore, I have forwarded the Deputy’s question, in relation to the passenger numbers boarding at each train stations from Dublin to Enfield, to the NTA for direct reply. Please advise my private office if you do not receive a reply within ten working days.

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.

The issue raised in relation to the number of carriages on the 06.05am Drogheda to Dublin Pearse train is an operational matter for Iarnród Éireann and I have forwarded the Deputy's question to the company for direct reply.
