Minister for Transport

I propose to take Questions Nos. 28 to 34, 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 operations of public transport.

The issues raised by the Deputy regarding the awarding of the contract for, operation of, revenue generated from, and the accessibility of the Ballybrophy Railway Station Car Park is an operational matter 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.

A referred reply was forwarded to the Deputy under Standing Order 51
