287. Deputy Barry Ward asked the Minister for Transport if he will ensure greater accessibility to DART and other rail stations through multiple access points, to reduce the need for rail users to take circuitous routes to access platforms; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [1833/25]

As 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 is an operational matter for Irish Rail.  Therefore, I have referred the Deputy's question to Irish Rail for direct response to the Deputy.

Please advise my private office if you do not receive a reply within ten working days.
