Written answers

Minister for Arts, Heritage, Regional, Rural and Gaeltacht Affairs

As indicated in my reply to Question Number 342 of 9 May 2016, as it is unclear to my Department what discussions are being referred to, I asked my officials to contact the Deputy directly on this matter. My Department has since been in contact with the Deputy’s office and explained that there are no ongoing or pending discussions between the National Parks and Wildlife Service of my Department and Irish Rail about this matter.
