Minister for Transport, Tourism and Sport

The provision of rail services is an operational matter for Iarnród Éireann in conjunction with the National Transport Authority (NTA) and I have forwarded the Deputy's question to both the company and the NTA for direct reply.  Please advise my private office if you do not receive a response within ten working days.
