Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 17 February 2026
407. Deputy Naoise Ó Cearúil asked the Minister for Transport if he will provide an update on fleet availability and allocation across the Kildare commuter network; whether additional rolling stock can be deployed to alleviate overcrowding on peak services; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [12314/26]
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 planning and 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.
