Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 24 May 2022
146. Deputy Jackie Cahill asked the Minister for Transport the efforts that his Department is making to ensure that there are meaningful and obligatory environmental, climate-friendly and fair-wage conditions incorporated into any new contracts for catering services on Irish Rail services; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [26214/22]
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 conditions incorporated into any new contracts for catering services on Irish Rail services is first and foremost a matter for Iarnród Éireann and I have therefore forwarded the Deputy's question to the company for direct reply.
Please advise my private office if you do not receive a response within ten working days.
