All railway operational matters, including those related to the reopening of railway lines, are the responsibility of Iarnród Éireann. I have no statutory responsibility for such matters.
However, as I indicated in reply to a similar Parliamentary Question on 31 March 1998, I have asked CIE to prepare an assessment of the public transport situation in Cork for my consideration.
