Dáil Éireann Debate, Wednesday - 22 November 2023
52. Deputy Anne Rabbitte asked the Minister for Transport the reason only two carriages are being used on the 8:01 train from Galway to Oranmore; the reason for cost of €4 one-way train from Galway to Oranmore; the reason leap cards are not in place; and the reason all trains do not stop in Oranmore. [51254/23]
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 raised by the Deputy in relation to rail services between Galway to Oranmore, are an operational matter for Iarnród Éireann in conjunction with the National Transport Authority (NTA). I have therefore forwarded the Deputy's question to Iarnród Éireann and the NTA for direct replies. Please advise my private office if you do not receive a reply within ten working days.
