The wide range of functions associated with my ministerial office and the fact that my constituency is some distance from Dáil Éireann and my departmental headquarters in Dublin, requires me to operate within very tight time pressures. In the course of my duties I have numerous official engagements that require my punctual attendance in varied locations around the country, many of which are not on the rail network. Consequently, I have not used mainline trains, commuter trains or Luas in the course of my ministerial duties.
