Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 15 November 2022
174. Deputy Steven Matthews asked the Minister for Transport if his attention has been drawn to the return of quiet carriages on the Dublin to Cork rail line; if a wider roll-out of this initiative is being considered to include other lines; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [56203/22]
Amharc ar fhreagraAs 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 operations of public transport.
While I am aware of the recent introduction of quieter carriages on Dublin-Cork services, the issue of the wider roll-out of the idea is an operational matter for Iarnród Éireann and I have therefore forwarded the Deputy's question to the company for direct reply.
Please advise my private office if you do not receive a response within ten working days.
