Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 18 February 2014
783. Deputy Micheál Martin asked the Minister for Transport, Tourism and Sport if his Department has plans to make funding available to Irish Rail to improve customer access to train platforms six and seven at Dublin Connolly Station by upgrading and opening the existing entrance and exit to Amiens Street; if he will provide an estimated cost for these works; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [7601/14]
View answerAs Minister for Transport, Tourism and Sport I have responsibility for policy and overall funding in relation to public transport. Following the establishment of the National Transport Authority (NTA) in December 2009, the implementation and development of infrastructure projects in the Greater Dublin Area (GDA), such as improving access and upgrading platforms at Dublin Connolly station comes under the remit of the NTA.
Noting this I have referred the Deputies question to the NTA for direct reply. Please advise my private office if you do not receive a reply within 10 working days.
