182. Deputy Matt Carthy asked the Minister for Transport the proportion of bookings on each Iarnród Éireann intercity service allocated for reservation online without a fee for free travel pass holders; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [25669/23]
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 issue raised by the Deputy regarding the proportion of bookings on each Iarnród Éireann Intercity service allocated for reservation online without a fee for free travel pass holders 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.
