Dáil Éireann Debate, Thursday - 24 March 2022
179. Deputy Éamon Ó Cuív asked the Minister for Transport the proposed upgrades for the rail-line from Athenry to Galway; the time-scale in which it is intended to deliver these; the sources of funding of this proposed work national, that is, national, own funds and European Union; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [15637/22]
Amharc ar fhreagraAs Minister for Transport, I have responsibility for policy and overall funding in relation to public transport. The National Transport Authority (NTA) has, on a non-statutory basis, responsibility for the planning and development of public transport infrastructure in the Galway City Area including, in consultation with Iarnród Eireann, railway infrastructure.
Noting the NTA's responsibility in the matter, I have referred the Deputy's question to the NTA for a more detailed reply to the specific questions asked. Please contact my private office if you do not receive a reply within 10 days.
