As Minister for Transport, I have responsibility for policy and overall funding of public transport. The operation, maintenance and renewal of the rail network and, tracks and stations is a matter for Iarnród Éireann in the first instance.

Noting Iarnród Éireann's responsibility in this matter and the specific issues raised by the Deputy, I have referred the Deputy's questions to the Iarnród Éireann for a more detailed reply. Please contact my private office if you do not receive a reply within 10 days.
