Dáil Éireann Debate, Monday - 11 September 2023
394. Deputy Alan Dillon asked the Minister for Transport if consideration can be made to include introducing a later train midweek between Dublin Heuston and Westport County Mayo to accommodate late commuters; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [38801/23]
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 of timetabling and the operation of a new rail service between Dublin Heuston and Westport is an operational matter for Iarnród Éireann in conjunction with the National Transport Authority and I have therefore forwarded the Deputy's question to the Iarnród Éireann for direct reply.
Please advise my private office if you do not receive a response within ten working days.
