Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 26 July 2022
284. Deputy John Brady asked the Minister for Transport if he will provide an update on plans to increase capacity and frequency of trains on the Dublin to Rosslare rail line; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [41353/22]
View answerAs 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 National Transport Authority (NTA) has statutory responsibility for securing the provision of public passenger transport services nationally and for the scheduling and timetabling of these services in conjunction with the relevant transport operators.
In light of the Authority's responsibility in this area, I have forwarded the Deputy's question requesting an update on plans to increase capacity and frequency of trains on the Dublin to Rosslare rail line, to the NTA for direct reply. Please advise my private office if you do not receive a response within ten working days.
