I propose to take Questions Nos. 143 and 144 together.

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 issues of both an increased number of carriages and an increased number of high visibility personnel on Iarnród Éireann services are operational matters for Iarnród Éireann and I have therefore forwarded the Deputy's questions to the company for direct reply.

Please advise my private office if you do not receive a response within ten working days.
