Dáil Éireann Debate, Wednesday - 18 January 2023
181. Deputy Éamon Ó Cuív asked the Minister for Transport the number of passengers who have travelled on the Limerick to Galway rail services in each of the past five years; the constraints to improving the services on this line in terms of frequency and capacity of trains; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [63770/22]
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 issues raised regarding the number of passengers that have travelled on the Limerick to Galway rail services in each of the past five years, and the constraints to improving the services on this line are operational matters 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.
