Dáil Éireann Debate, Thursday - 30 November 2023
302. Deputy Bernard J. Durkan asked the Minister for Transport to indicate the extent to which the electrification of the Maynooth railway line is progressing; the extent to which timetables are being met; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [53134/23]
View answerAs Minister for Transport I have responsibility for policy and overall funding of public transport in Ireland. The National Transport Authority (NTA) has statutory responsibility for the planning and development of public transport infrastructure in the Greater Dublin Area, including the DART+ West project. In conjunction with service operators, the NTA also has responsibility for the scheduling of these rail services.
Noting the NTA and Iarnród Éireann's responsibility in this matter, I have referred the Deputy's questions to the NTA and Iarnród Éireann for a more detailed reply. Please contact my private office if you do not receive a reply within 10 days.
