View answerI propose to take Questions Nos. 244 and 245 together.
As 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 of the costs of increased spending on security personnel and revenue protection officers is an operational matter for Iarnród Éireann and I have therefore forwarded the Deputy's question to the company for direct reply.
