Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 29 June 2021
109. Deputy Peadar Tóibín asked the Minister for Transport his views on whether the current price of €647 for a student monthly train ticket from Galway to Dublin, the current cost of an adult monthly ticket from Galway to Dublin of €907 and the current cost of an adult single one-way ticket from Galway to Dublin of €37 are appropriate; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [34457/21]
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 a matter for the National Transport Authority (NTA) in conjunction with Iarnród Éireann and 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.
