Dáil Éireann Debate, Wednesday - 14 September 2022
128. Deputy Fergus O'Dowd asked the Minister for Transport if he will seek an update from Iarnród Éireann on the possibility of reopening the Dunleer train station in order to reduce the carbon footprint and assist in meeting climate targets in mid County Louth by providing much-needed commuter options for constituents in the area.

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 provision, operation, and maintenance of public transport services.
The issue of the reopening of Dunleer station is an operational matter for Iarnród Éireann in conjunction with the National Transport Authority (NTA) and as such, I have forwarded the Deputy's question to Iarnród Éireann for direct reply. Please advise my private office if you do not receive a response within ten working days.
