Dáil Éireann Debate, Thursday - 14 April 2016
863. Deputy Catherine Murphy asked the Minister for Transport, Tourism and Sport to provide funding for more rolling stock on the overcrowded commuter lines servicing counties Kildare and Dublin; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [7060/16]
View answerAs Minister for Transport, Tourism and Sport I have responsibility for policy and overall funding in relation to public transport. Matters relating to the deployment of rolling stock are day-to-day operational issues for Iarnrod Eireann and I have no function in such matters.
Noting this I have referred the Deputy's question to Iarnrod Eireann for direct reply. Please advise my private office if you don't receive a reply within 10 working days.
