I propose to take Questions Nos. 464 and 465 together.

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.

Under the Programme for Government, the Department will work collaboratively with operators to act on the recommendations from the All-Island Strategic Rail Review to improve connectivity across the island of Ireland. In line with this, additional track capacity, electrification, increased line speeds and new routes to enhance and develop rail services will be developed.

The issues raised by the Deputy are operational matters for Irish Rail. Therefore, I have referred the Deputy's questions to Irish Rail for direct response.

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