133. Deputy Brian Brennan asked the Minister for Transport his views on the lack of investment, capacity and accessibility on main public transport routes between Wexford and Dublin, specifically relating to the Rosslare to Dublin Rail line; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [46336/26]

As Minister of Transport, I have responsibility for policy and overall funding of public transport. The operation, maintenance and renewal of the rail network and stations on the network, including works on the Dublin to Rosslare train line, is a matter for Iarnród Éireann in the first instance.

Given Iarnród Éireann's responsibility in this matter, I have referred the Deputy's question to the company for direct, detailed reply. Please contact my private office if you do not receive a reply within 10 working days.
