197. Deputy John Clendennen asked the Minister for Transport the measures being considered by his Department, the National Transport Authority and Irish Rail to increase passenger capacity on rail services operating between Dublin Heuston and Tullamore; whether an assessment has been undertaken of current and projected passenger demand on the route; and if he will make a statement on the matter.

Amharc ar fhreagraAs 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.
