View answerI propose to take Questions Nos. 58, 76 and 77 together.
As the 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 questions raised are an operational matter for Iarnród Éireann and I have therefore forwarded the Deputy's questions to the company for direct reply. Please advise my private office if you do not receive a response within ten working days.
