As 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.

A number of the car parking facilities at train stations throughout the country are not owned or operated by Irish Rail, and therefore, neither Irish Rail nor the Department of Transport would have access to the requested clamping information at these locations. Information in relation to these locations would be a matter for the relevant Local Authorities.

With regard to the train station carparks that are under the control of Irish Rail, I have referred the Deputy's question to the company to provide the requested information on clamping at these locations directly to the Deputy. Please advise my private office if you do not receive replies within ten working days.
