Written answers

Minister for Transport, Tourism and Sport

As I outlined to the Deputy in my previous reply to Dáil Question No. 1418 on 26 July, this is a matter for Iarnród Éireann.

I understand that Iarnród Éireann has replied directly to the Deputy on this matter and the position is unchanged.
