Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 16 April 2013
1380. Deputy James Bannon asked the Minister for Transport, Tourism and Sport if he will consider the re-opening of the Killucan and Multyfarnham stations on the Dublin-to-Sligo rail line, as studies have shown that hundreds of people would access these stations if they were up and running; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [16739/13]
View answerThe re-opening of railway stations is a matter for Iarnród Éireann in the first instance, and therefore I have forwarded your Question to the CEO of Iarnród Éireann for direct reply. I would ask the Deputy to contact my Office if a reply has not been received within ten days. For the Deputy's information, funding for the re-opening of Killucan and Multyfarnham stations has not been included in the transport allocation under the "Infrastructure and Capital Investment 2012-16: Medium Term Exchequer Framework " and therefore there are no Exchequer funds available for these projects to 2016.
