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.

The query raised by the Deputy is an operational matter for Irish Rail in conjunction with the National Transport Authority. I have, therefore, referred the Deputy's question to both companies for direct reply. Please advise my private office if you do not receive a reply within ten working days.
