I last met with the Chairperson and CEO of Iarnród Éireann at Heuston Station on the 14th October 2022 and received an update from them on a range of issues, including the new National Train Control Centre at Heuston Station. I also met with the CEO on the 7th February this year.

I meet with the Chairpersons and CEO's of CIÉ and its subsidiaries on a regular basis, or as the need arises. In addition to these meetings, my Department has regular engagement with the company at all levels, including at CEO level, in relation to issues including governance, financial, investment, safety and service related issues, and I am of course briefed by my Department on any relevant issues which arise during the course of such normal administrative and corporate governance related contact between my Department and the companies in question.
