Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 2 April 2019
55. Deputy Bríd Smith asked the Minister for Transport, Tourism and Sport if his attention has been drawn to the difficulties caused to persons with disabilities by the failure of lifts at DART and rail stations across the city and that these failures are ongoing and constant and make accessing public transport impossible for many persons; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [15152/19]
View answerAs Minister for Transport, Tourism and Sport, I have responsibility for policy and overall funding in relation to public transport. However, I am not involved in the day-to-day operations of public transport.
The issues raised by the Deputy are operational matters for Iarnród Éireann and I have forwarded your questions to the company for direct reply to you. Please advise my private office if you do not receive a response within ten working days.
