Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 12 February 2019
605. Deputy Lisa Chambers asked the Minister for Transport, Tourism and Sport the steps that will be taken to ensure that persons who need assistance boarding and exiting trains using ramps and so on will still do so safely and conveniently in view of the new proposals to remove staff from stations nationally; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [6583/19]
View answerAs Minister for Transport, Tourism and Sport I have responsibility for policy and overall funding in relation to public transport.
The issue raised by the Deputy is a matter for the public transport operator, Irish Rail. I have therefore forwarded her question to Irish Rail for direct reply to her. Please advise my private office if you do not receive a response within 10 working days.
