Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 16 April 2013
1366. Deputy Derek Keating asked the Minister for Transport, Tourism and Sport if he will provide an up to date report on the timescale for the opening of the Kishoge train station for Lucan and Clondalkin, Dublin, to residents. [16142/13]
Amharc ar fhreagra1372. Deputy Derek Keating asked the Minister for Transport, Tourism and Sport if he will report in detail the reasons for the delays in opening Kishogue railway station, Lucan, Dublin; and the revised time scale for its opening. [16312/13]
Amharc ar fhreagraI propose to take Questions Nos. 1366 and 1372 together.
As Minister for Transport, Tourism and Sport, I have responsibility for policy and overall funding in relation to public transport. Matters relating to the opening of individual railway stations are day-to-day operational issues for Iarnrod Eireann in the first instance and I have no function in such matters. In the Greater Dublin Area (GDA), funding for Public Transport infrastructure projects, such as the railway station referred to by the Deputy, is provided for by the National Transport Authority (NTA).
Noting this I have referred the Deputy’s question to the NTA for direct reply. Please advise my private office if you don’t receive a reply within 10 working days
