314. Deputy Mark Wall asked the Minister for Transport the work ongoing and plans to upgrade the train stations in Kildare south (details supplied); and if he will make a statement on the matter. [2120/25]

As Minister for Transport, I have responsibility for policy and overall funding in relation to public transport.  The National Transport Authority (NTA) has statutory responsibility for the planning and development of public transport infrastructure in the Greater Dublin Area, including, in conjunction with Iarnród Éireann, upgrades to train stations.

Noting the NTA's responsibility in the matter, I have referred the Deputy's question to it for a direct reply. Please contact my private office if you do not receive a reply within ten days.
