Dáil Éireann Debate, Wednesday - 18 September 2019
188. Deputy Catherine Martin asked the Minister for Transport, Tourism and Sport when the new Pelletstown station will be open and pedestrian bridge across the Royal Canal complete; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [37849/19]
Amharc ar fhreagraAs Minister for Transport, Tourism and Sport, I have responsibility for policy and overall funding in relation to public transport. The National Transport Authority (NTA) has statutory responsibility for the planning and development of public transport infrastructure in the Greater Dublin Area, including the provision of a new train station at Pelletstown/Ashington on the Maynooth rail line.
Noting the NTA's responsibilities in the matter raised, I have referred the Deputy's question to the NTA for a more detailed reply. Please contact my private office if you do not receive a reply within 10 days.
