Dáil Éireann Debate, Wednesday - 1 June 2022
75. Deputy Ged Nash asked the Minister for Transport the plans, if any, to reopen the train station in Dunleer, County Louth; the estimated cost of reopening the existing station; his views that Dunleer offers the potential for an improved rail service for the mid and south Louth areas and that a cost-benefit analysis should be undertaken; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [28239/22]
Amharc ar fhreagraAs 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 operations of public transport.
The issues which the Deputy has raised regarding the reopening of Dunleer train station and the potential benefit from services to that station are first and foremost operational matters for Iarnród Éireann and the National Transport Authority respectively, and I have therefore forwarded the Deputy's questions to the companies for direct reply.
Please advise my private office if you do not receive a response within ten working days.
