Dáil Éireann Debate, Wednesday - 15 November 2023
48. Deputy Kathleen Funchion asked the Minister for Transport the reason there is not a commuter train service from Kilkenny to Waterford to get people to Waterford city for 9am; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [50194/23]
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 issue raised by the Deputy concerning the timetabling of an earlier service on the Kilkenny to Waterford rail route is an operational matter for the National Transport Authority (NTA) in conjunction with Iarnród Éireann. Therefore, I have referred the Deputy's question to Iarnród Éireann for a direct reply. Please contact my private office if you do not receive a reply within 10 days.
