Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 5 March 2024
156. Deputy Ged Nash asked the Minister for Transport if the relevant agencies are working on the development of a new train station on the north side of Drogheda to service the expanding population in that area, and to service existing residents on that side of the town; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [10106/24]
View answerAs Minister for Transport, I have responsibility for policy and overall funding in relation to public transport. The maintenance, renewal and operation of the rail network and stations on the network, including the proposed station referred to, is a matter for Iarnród Éireann (IÉ) in the first instance.
Noting IÉ's responsibility in relation to the rail network and stations on the network, I have referred the Deputy's question to IÉ for a more detailed reply on the specific issues raised. Please contact my private office if you do not receive a reply within 10 days.
