Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 30 January 2024
201. Deputy Michael Healy-Rae asked the Minister for Transport when Irish Rail will submit a planning application for the works at Farranfore train station (details supplied); to confirm that the station will also operate as a bus stop that would ensure the bus is no longer stopping in the middle of the N22 causing backlogs of traffic, which has become unsafe for users of the bus also; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [4106/24]
View answerAs 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 the train station at Farranfore, Co Kerry, is a matter for Iarnród Éireann in the first instance.
In view of Iarnród Éireann's responsibility in this matter, I have referred the Deputy's question to the company for direct reply. Please contact my private office if a reply is not received within 10 working days.
