I propose to take Questions Nos. 398, 399, 400 and 401 together.

As the 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.

The issue raised by the Deputy is an operational matter for Irish Rail. Therefore, I have referred the Deputy's questions 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.
