Dáil Éireann Debate, Thursday - 16 October 2025
180. Deputy Shónagh Ní Raghallaigh asked the Minister for Transport if he or his Department are aware of the lack of carriages on commuter trains to Heuston; his discussions with TFI regarding this; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [56108/25]
View answerAs 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 National Transport Authority (NTA) has statutory responsibility for securing the provision of public passenger transport services nationally and for the scheduling and timetabling of these services in conjunction with the relevant transport operators.
In light of the NTA's responsibility in this area, I have forwarded the Deputy's query to the NTA for direct reply. Please advise my private office if you do not receive a response within ten working days.
