View answerAs Minister for Transport I have responsibility for policy and overall funding of public transport. The operation, maintenance and renewal of the rail network and stations on the network including the former station referred to, is a matter for Iarnród Éireann in the first instance.
I can advise the Deputy that I met with members of Westmeath County Council and Iarnród Éireann last December regarding the possibility of reopening said station and I understand that the Council are considering the matter further.
