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 steps that Iarnród Éireann will take to ensure that older people with no credit cards or computer skills will still be able to pay cash for refreshments onboard Iarnród Éireann Intercity trains is an operational matter for Iarnród Éireann and I have therefore 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.
