Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 14 July 2026
145. Deputy Malcolm Byrne asked the Minister for Transport the total cost to date of the bottled water that has been distributed by Irish Rail on Dublin to Rosslare trains freely to passengers to date this year to deal with the problem of no air conditioning on trains; his views on the situation; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [53066/26]
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 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.
