View answerI propose to take Questions Nos. 201 to 204, inclusive, 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 provision, operation and maintenance of public transport.
The issues raised by the Deputy regarding the opening and maintenance of facilities at specific train stations are an operational matter for Iarnród Éireann, and I have therefore forwarded the Deputy's questions to the company for direct reply.
Please advise my private office if you do not receive a response within ten working days.
