Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 12 July 2022
263. Deputy Catherine Murphy asked the Minister for Transport if he will provide a schedule of the railway stations disused and disposed of by Irish Rail in the past ten years to date; the revenue realised from disposals; if he and or Irish Rail will consider making the disused stations useable for community groups or charitable use. [37295/22]
View answerAs 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.
The disposal of disused railway stations, the revenue generated from such disposals, and the conversion of currently held disused stations are a matter first and foremost 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.
