Written answers

As Minister of State with responsibility for International and Road Transport, Logistics, Rail and Ports, I am not involved in the day-to-day operations of public transport.

The issue raised by the Deputy is an operational matter for Iarnród Éireann. Therefore, I have referred the Deputy's questions to Iarnród Éireann for direct response. 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.
