I last met with the Chair of Iarnród Éireann on 9th August 2018. I have not yet met with the current Chief Executive of Iarnród Éireann. However, my Department has regular engagement with the company at all levels, including at CEO level, in relation to issues including governance, financial, investment, safety and service related issues including in relation to Brexit.  I am regularly briefed by my Department in relation to such issues.
