Minister for Transport

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 issues raised by the Deputy are operational matters for Irish Rail and Transdev. Therefore, I have referred the Deputy's question to Irish Rail and Transdev 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 Orders.
