Dáil Éireann Debate, Wednesday - 26 July 2017
1419. Deputy Catherine Martin asked the Minister for Transport, Tourism and Sport if, in line with Government policy as set out in the national cycle policy framework, all procurement of new rail rolling stock will provide for increased space for carriage of bicycles. [36672/17]
Amharc ar fhreagraI am not aware at present of any plans to purchase new rail rolling stock. In any event Iarnród Éireann operates the heavy rail network and is responsible for assessing rolling stock requirements for the heavy rail network in conjunction with the NTA.
Noting the responsibilities of the agencies in this regard, I have referred the Deputy's question to both NTA and Iarnród Éireann for direct reply. Please advise my office if a reply has not been received within 10 working days.
The referred reply under Standing Order 42A was forwarded to the Deputy.
