Dáil Éireann Debate, Wednesday - 18 January 2023
180. Deputy Éamon Ó Cuív asked the Minister for Transport if it is intended to provide a passing loop on the rail line between Ennis and Limerick to enable a more frequent service to be provided between Galway and Limerick (details supplied); and if he will make a statement on the matter. [63769/22]
View answerAs Minister for Transport, I have responsibility for policy and overall funding of public transport. The operation, maintenance and renewal of the rail network and stations on the network is a matter for Iarnród Éireann in the first instance. This includes any works on the rail line between Ennis and Limerick.
In view of Iarnród Éireann's responsibility in this matter, I have referred the Deputy's question to the company for direct reply. Please contact my private office if you do not receive a reply within 10 working days.
