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 operation of public transport companies. 

The issues raised by the Deputy in relation to the possible creation of an offshore renewable energy hub at Rosslare are an operational matter for the company and I have therefore forwarded the Deputy's questions to Iarnród Éireann for direct reply. 

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