98. To ask the Minister for Transport, Tourism and Sport the reason for the reduction in the direct services on the Grand Canal Dock to Hazelhatch-Celbridge at rush hour times; if the previous direct services that were in place and working well will be reinstated given the growing population along this line using these services; if an examination will be carried out into the reason there are now up to ten-minute delays to this service in both directions at rush hour, in view of the unreliability of services since recent changes were made which are having a disastrous effect on commuters and their journey time; and if he will make a statement on the matter.

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 are a matter for Irish Rail in conjunction with the National Transport Authority. Therefore, I have referred the Deputy's question to Irish Rail and the National Transport Authority for direct response to the Deputy.

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