Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 25 July 2023
273. Deputy Cormac Devlin asked the Minister for Transport if he will provide an update on the investment in national rail services since 2020, including the number of new train carriages delivered, kilometres of new track laid, kilometres of track electrified, and construction of new or expansion of railway stations; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [37122/23]
View answerAs Minister for Transport, I have responsibility for policy and overall funding in relation to public transport. The operation, maintenance and renewal of the rail network, including the works referred to by the Deputy, is a matter for Iarnród Éireann (IÉ) in the first instance.
Noting the IÉ's responsibility in the matter, I have referred the Deputy's question to IÉ for a detailed reply on the specific issues raised. Please contact my private office if you do not receive a reply within 10 days.
