I propose to take Questions Nos. 265 and 266 together.
As Minister of Transport, I have responsibility for policy and overall funding of public transport. The operation, maintenance and renewal of the rail network and stations on the network, including any capital expenditure in relation to the progression of the recommendations in the All-Island Rail Review, which includes the reinstatement of the Western Rail Corridor, is a matter for Iarnród Éireann in the first instance.
In the short-term to 2030, the Rail Prioritisation Strategy, which my Department published in December last year, specifies a number of 'Early Interventions' to be delivered in the coming years, including new track passing loops and platforms to boost the rail network’s resilience and capacity. These investments are funded to be fully delivered by 2030 under the NDP.
Given Iarnród Éireann's responsibility in this matter, I have referred the Deputy's questions to the company for direct, detailed reply. Please contact my private office if you do not receive a reply within 10 working days.
Question No. 266 answered with Question No. 265.
