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

The issue raised by the Deputy is a matter for Irish Rail. Therefore, I have referred the Deputy's question to Irish Rail for direct response to the Deputy.

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