Dáil Éireann Debate, Thursday - 14 January 2021
43. Deputy Bernard J. Durkan asked the Minister for Transport the extent to which he expects parking facilities to be provided in conjunction with upgrading the Maynooth and Sallins rail services with particular reference to the need to ensure that commuters can park with ease without creating further congestion; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [2176/21]
View answerAs the Deputy is aware, the National Transport Authority (NTA) has statutory responsibility for the planning and development of public transport infrastructure and services in the Greater Dublin Area. Iarnród Éireann receive Exchequer funding via the NTA in relation to the provision of car parking at train stations on the heavy rail network in the GDA, including Maynooth and Sallins railway stations.
Noting its responsibility in the matter, I have forwarded the Deputy's question to the NTA for direct reply. Please advise my private office if you do not receive a response within ten working days.
