Dáil Éireann Debate, Thursday - 2 May 2024
125. Deputy Brendan Griffin asked the Minister for Transport the date in 2024 when on board catering will resume on rail services out of and into Kerry; if this will include trolley service, dining car or both; if the tender went out in relation to this and if a successful tenderer was chosen; when the successful tenderer was chosen; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [20016/24]
View answerAs 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 issue raised by the Deputy in relation to on-board catering in and out of Kerry is a matter for Irish Rail. Therefore, I have referred the Deputy's question to Irish Rail for direct response to the Deputy.
