As 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 in consultation with the National Transport Authority (NTA).
The Deputy may wish to be aware of the NTA's ongoing review of the statutory Transport Strategy for the Greater Dublin Area. The Transport Strategy is the statutory transport plan for the Greater Dublin Area, including Wicklow, and issues such as this would usefully inform its review as it looks to develop a revised twenty year framework for transport infrastructure and services across the region.
In view of the NTA's responsibility in this matter, I have referred the Deputy's question to it for direct reply. Please contact my private office if you do not receive a reply within 10 working days.
