118. Deputy Mark Ward asked the Minister for Transport if additional train carriages will be added to the service between Newbridge and Grand Canal Dock at peak times; if additional train services will be considered at peak times for the service between Hazelhatch and Grand Canal Dock; the additional services that have been put in place in response to the rising population of Adamstown; and if he will make a statement on the matter.

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 statutory responsibility for the planning and development of public transport infrastructure in the Greater Dublin Area, including the deployment of carriages on commuter lines in County Kildare.
Noting the NTA's responsibility in the matter, I have referred the Deputy's question to the NTA for a more detailed reply on the specific issues raised. Please contact my private office if you do not receive a reply within 10 days.
