Dáil Éireann Debate, Thursday - 5 October 2023
169. Deputy Peter Fitzpatrick asked the Minister for Transport if he is aware of the negative impact the proposed new Irish Rail timetable will have on commuters from Dundalk (details supplied); if he has plans to increase the number of trains between Drogheda and Dundalk; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [43237/23]
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 in relation to the impact of the proposed new Irish Rail timetable on commuters from Dundalk is an operational matter for Iarnród Éireann. I have therefore forwarded the Deputy's question to Iarnród Éireann for direct reply. Please advise my private office if you do not receive a response within ten working days.
