Minister for Transport

I propose to take Questions Nos. 206 and 207 together.

As the Minister for Transport, I have responsibility for policy and overall funding in relation to public transport. However, I am not involved in the day-to-day provision, operation, and maintenance of public transport. 

The queries raised in relation to passenger numbers, investments, and service improvements on the Limerick-Galway train line are an operational matter for Iarnród Éireann and I have therefore forwarded the Deputy's questions to the company for direct reply. 

Please advise my private office if you do not receive a response within ten working days.

A referred reply was forwarded to the Deputy under Standing Order 51

Question No. 207 answered with Question No. 206.
