459. Deputy Bernard J. Durkan asked the Minister for Transport his plans to increase the number of carriages serving the north County Kildare rail commuter routes or alternatively increasing the frequency of trains thereby improving the service for commuters; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [21276/22]
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 of the number of carriages and the frequency of trains serving the north County Kildare rail commuter routes is an operational matter for Iarnród Éireann in conjunction with the National Transport Authority (NTA) and I have therefore forwarded the Deputy's question Iarnród Éireann for direct reply.
Please advise my private office if you do not receive a response within ten working days.
