Dáil Éireann Debate, Thursday - 21 March 2024
168. Deputy Bernard J. Durkan asked the Minister for Transport the extent to which it is anticipated upgrades to rail services serving the commuter towns of north County Kildare will be carried out, if by provision of increased frequency of services the provision of extra carriages or alternatives; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [13454/24]
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 upgrades to rail services and frequency of services in north County Kildare are operational matters 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 reply within ten working days.
