65. Deputy Neasa Hourigan asked the Minister for Transport if he will outline the measures Iarnród Éireann has in place to foster biodiversity along its routes and land banks; the funding provided for and actions that have been taken on biodiversity since 2020; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [28432/23]
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 issues raised by the Deputy regarding Iarnród Éireann measures to foster biodiversity along their routes and landbanks, and the funding and actions as part of such since 2020, are operational matters for Iarnród Éireann and I have therefore forwarded the Deputy's questions to the company for direct reply.
Please advise my private office if you do not receive a response within ten working days.
