144. Deputy Shónagh Ní Raghallaigh asked the Minister for Transport if he will provide for increased train capacity for commuters in Sallins, Newbridge, Kildare town and Monasterevin as peak-time trains are consistently overcrowded; if he will provide high-frequency shuttles in the interim; and if he will make a statement on the matter.

Written answers

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 query raised by the Deputy is an operational matter for Iarnród Éireann. I have, therefore, referred the Deputy's question to the company for direct reply. Please advise my private office if you do not receive a reply within ten working days.

The referred reply was forwarded to the Deputy under Standing Orders.
