Dáil Éireann Debate, Thursday - 17 October 2024
81. Deputy Frankie Feighan asked the Minister for Transport his views on whether the Sligo to Dublin rail line is in real terms being downgraded (details supplied); if he is aware that there is now a lack of seats on all Sligo to Dublin morning peak services from Longford onwards; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [39084/24]
View answerAs Minister for Transport, I have responsibility for policy, 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 the Sligo to Dublin rail line timetable is a matter for Irish Rail in conjunction with the National Transport Authority. Therefore, I have referred the Deputy's question to Irish Rail and the National Transport Authority for direct response to the Deputy.
Please advise my private office if you do not receive a reply within ten working days.
