Dáil Éireann Debate, Thursday - 18 June 2026
236. Deputy Fionntán Ó Súilleabháin asked the Minister for Transport if a review of the wheelchair accessible service on the Rosslare to Dublin train line, and Bus Éireann route, will be carried out following a person unable to travel on the 11 June 2026 due to lack of proper provisions in place.

View answerAs Minister for Transport, I have responsibility for policy and overall funding in relation to public transport.
Under the Dublin Transport Authority Act 2008 and the Public Transport Regulation Act 2009, the Oireachtas assigned statutory responsibility to the National Transport Authority (NTA) for promoting the development of an integrated, accessible public transport network and public transport infrastructure. The NTA in turn works with the relevant public transport operators, for example Bus Éireann, who have responsibility for day-to-day operational issues, to progressively make public transport accessible.
In light of the NTA's over-arching statutory responsibilities for accessible public transport, including the accessibility of services between Rosslare and Dublin, I have referred your question to the NTA for direct reply to you. Please advise my private office if you do not receive a reply within ten working days.
