255. To ask the Minister for Transport, Tourism and Sport if he will examine the feasibility of eliminating the reverse requirement for trains entering and exiting Killarney train station; his views on whether a lengthening of the platform would be a cost-effective measure to address this issue; and if he will make a statement on the matter.

As Minister for Transport, I have responsibility for policy and overall funding in relation to public transport. The operation, maintenance and renewal of the rail network, including stations on the network, is a matter for Iarnród Éireann (IÉ) in the first instance.

Noting the IÉ's responsibility in the matter, I have referred the Deputy's question to IÉ for a more detailed reply on the specific issues raised. Please contact my private office if you do not receive a reply within 10 days.
