Amharc ar fhreagraI propose to take Questions Nos. 199 and 200 together.
As Minister for Transport, Tourism and Sport, 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 issues raised are operational matters for Iarnród Éireann and I have therefore forwarded your questions to the company for direct reply. Please advise my private office if you do not receive a reply within ten working days.
