Last week, I asked the Taoiseach about the programme for Government's commitments to investment in railways, specifically the Rosslare rail line. The Taoiseach informed me in his announcement that there would be trains for everywhere and the 48 new carriages would include carriages for the Rosslare rail line. In correspondence with Deputy Pat Casey and Wicklow County Council, Irish Rail has stated that none of the 41 new rail carriages will be provided to the new Rosslare rail line. What assurances can the Taoiseach give that there will be improvements to the rail service on the Rosslare line and the problem of overcrowding at peak times will be dealt with?

This is really a question for the Minister for Transport, Tourism and Sport. Can the Taoiseach ask that Minister to respond?

The 41 carriages are for the greater Dublin rail network, for Drogheda, Maynooth and-----

I specifically asked the Taoiseach about the carriages.

The Taoiseach is not the Minister for Transport, Tourism and Sport.

I did say that the €1 billion allocated to Irish Rail under the infrastructure manager multi-annual contract, IMMAC, over five years will cover the entire railway network, including the Wexford line.
