Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 15 April 2014
701. Deputy Seán Kenny asked the Minister for Transport, Tourism and Sport if he will engage with the transport infrastructure service and Luas operators to ensure the safe and accident-free operation of Luas trams on Abbey Street; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [17701/14]
View answerThe issue raised is a matter for the Railway Procurement Agency (RPA) in conjunction with the operator of LUAS, Veolia Transport Ireland. The Railway Safety Commission (RSC) also has a role in relation to the safe operation of the LUAS and application of enforcement measures in accordance with the Railway Safety Act 2005. I have forwarded the Deputy's question to both the RPA and RSC for direct reply. Please advise my private office if you do not receive a reply within ten working days.
