Minister for Transport

I propose to take Questions Nos. 60 and 62 together.

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 in relation to signalling and supporting IT systems 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.

A referred reply was forwarded to the Deputy under Standing Order 51.
