628. Deputy Peter Roche asked the Minister for Transport if plans are in progress to resume catering services on the Galway to Dublin train line; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [59030/26]

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 query raised by the Deputy is an operational matter for Iarnród Éireann. I have, therefore, referred the Deputy's question to the company for direct reply. Please advise my private office if you do not receive a reply within ten working days.
