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.

Noting Iarnród Éireann's recently published draft timetable for rail services, the issue of the improvement the Dublin to Sligo rail service is an operational matter for Iarnród Éireann in conjunction with the National Transport Authority and I have therefore forwarded the Deputy's question to Iarnród Éireann for direct reply.

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