Dáil Éireann Debate, Thursday - 4 May 2023
27. Deputy Éamon Ó Cuív asked the Minister for Transport if he has sought an update from Iarnród Éireann on the present state of the railway line from Claremorris to Collooney, including the length of the line that has existing track on it; the condition of the fencing on it; when the last clearance of growth off the line took place; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [20618/23]
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, including the disused line from Claremorris to Collooney, is a matter for Iarnród Éireann in the first instance.
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.
