Dáil Éireann Debate, Wednesday - 27 January 2021
100. Deputy Patricia Ryan asked the Minister for Transport his plans to alleviate overcrowding on commuter trains serving south County Kildare and Portarlington, County Laois; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [3750/21]
View answerAs the Minister for Transport, 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 issue raised is an operational matter for Iarnród Éireann, in conjunction with the National Transport Authority, and I have forwarded the Deputy's question to the company for direct reply.
Please advise my private office if you do not receive a response within ten working days.
