Written answers

Minister for Transport, Tourism and Sport (Deputy Leo Varadkar)

The scheduling of train timetables and provision of services is a matter for Irish Rail in conjunction with the National Transport Authority (NTA). I have referred the Deputy's question to Irish Rail for direct reply. Please advise my private office if you do not receive a reply within ten working days.

Question No. 550 withdrawn.
