Dáil Éireann Debate, Wednesday - 4 October 2023
64. Deputy Cathal Crowe asked the Minister for Transport if he will work with Irish Rail with a view to removing a standing fee for free travel scheme passengers (details supplied); and if he will make a statement on the matter. [42880/23]
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 a standing fee for free travel scheme passengers 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.
