Dáil Éireann Debate, Thursday - 1 February 2024

Durkan asked the Minister for Transport whether he is satisfied regarding the adequacy of health and safety adherence for the north Kildare commuter rail passengers given the necessity to remain standing for some journeys; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [4882/24]
View answerAs 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 by the Deputy in relation to capacity and health and safety is an operational matter for Irish Rail. Therefore, I have referred the Deputy's question to Irish Rail for direct response to the Deputy. Please advise my private office if you do not receive a response within ten working days.
