Dáil Éireann Debate, Wednesday - 6 December 2023
53. Deputy Patricia Ryan asked the Minister for Transport if he has plans to increase the number of train services to Monasterevin Train Station, County Kildare to make it a more commuter-friendly town. [54020/23]
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 the routes of these services in conjunction with the relevant transport operators.
The issue raised by the Deputy in relation to increasing the number of train services to Monasterevin is a matter for the NTA. Therefore, I have referred the Deputy's question to the NTA for direct response to the Deputy.
Please advise my private office if you do not receive a reply within ten working days.
