Dáil Éireann Debate, Wednesday - 7 February 2024
97. Deputy Patricia Ryan asked the Minister for Transport what engagement he or his Departmental officials had with the NTA regarding any upgrading of Monasterevin and Athy Train stations, with a view to improving their infrastructure and increasing carriage capacity to facilitate more people using public rail transport; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [5704/24]
View answerAs Minister for Transport, I have responsibility for policy and overall funding in relation to public transport. The National Transport Authority (NTA) has statutory responsibility for the planning and development of public transport infrastructure, including upgrades to train stations and infrastructure at train stations.
Noting the NTA's responsibility in this matter and the specific issues raised by the Deputy, I have referred the Deputies' questions to the NTA for a more detailed reply. Please contact my private office if you do not receive a reply within 10 days.
