402. To ask the Minister for Transport, Tourism and Sport if his Department will look at the viability of extending services to include passenger services along the existing Navan-Drogheda rail line, thereby providing a rail link to Dublin from Navan in a relatively inexpensive and fast manner; and if he will make a statement on the matter.

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 of the operation of a new rail service between Navan and Drogheda is an operational matter for Iarnród Éireann in conjunction with the National Transport Authority and I have therefore forwarded the Deputy's question to the Iarnród Éireann for direct reply.

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