Questions (124)

Erin McGreehan

Question:

124. Deputy Erin McGreehan asked the Minister for Transport if he is aware that the current parking provision at Dundalk Clarke railway station is insufficient to meet demand; the number of commuters being turned away or forced to park elsewhere on a daily basis; whether this shortage is undermining the use of public transport along the Dundalk-Dublin rail corridor; and if he will detail the specific actions being taken by his Department and Iarnród Éireann to urgently address this deficit, including expansion plans, timelines, funding and interim measures to support affected commuters. [50123/26]

Written answers

Minister for Transport

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.
