View answer1365. Deputy Robert Troy asked the Minister for Transport, Tourism and Sport if he will reconsider the amalgamation of the 17.00 and 19.00 train services from Sligo to Dublin as there is currently no train service to Dublin after 8pm in County Longford. [16126/13]
View answerI propose to take Questions Nos. 1364 and 1365 together.
The scheduling and timetabling of trains are operational matters for Iarnród Éireann in conjunction with the National Transport Authority (NTA) and I have forwarded the Deputy's questions to the company for direct reply. Please advise my private office if you do not receive a reply within ten working days.
