Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 16 April 2024
210. Deputy Cormac Devlin asked the Minister for Transport what publicity there has been around the temporary closure of the DART line; and what advance plans are already known for future works over the next 12 months, two years and five years. [16484/24]
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 National Transport Authority (NTA) has statutory responsibility for securing the provision of public passenger transport services nationally, and for decisions in relation to these services in conjunction with the relevant transport operators.
The issue raised by the Deputy in relation to temporary closures and future works are matters for Irish Rail, in conjunction with the NTA. Therefore, I have referred the Deputy's question to Irish Rail and the NTA for direct response to the Deputy.
