736. Deputy Patrick Nulty asked the Minister for Transport, Tourism and Sport if he will provide consideration to the provision of a more regular off-peak rail service to a town (details supplied) in County Dublin; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [9281/14]

758. Deputy Patrick Nulty asked the Minister for Transport, Tourism and Sport his views on the fact that bus and rail services serving an area (details supplied) in County Dublin are not properly integrated; if he will have the matter addressed; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [9649/14]

I propose to take Questions Nos. 736 and 758 together.

The National Transport Authority (NTA) has entered into Public Service Obligation Contracts with Iarnród Éireann and Dublin Bus for the provision of rail and bus services.  As the NTA has responsibility for review of or amendments to those contracts, I have forwarded the Deputy's questions to the NTA for direct reply.  Please advise my private office if you do not receive a reply within ten working days.
