As 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 are a matter for Irish Rail. Therefore, I have referred the Deputy's questions to Irish Rail for direct response to the Deputy.

Please advise my private office if you do not receive a reply within ten working days.
