As Minister for Transport, I have responsibility for policy, overall funding in relation to public transport, and corporate governance of transport operators including Irish Rail.

The issues raised by the Deputy in relation to the number of bike spaces on trains by each intercity route, and whether the new intercity carriages will have additional bike capacity are a matter for Irish Rail. Therefore, I have referred the Deputy's questions to Irish Rail for direct response to the Deputy.
