625. Deputy Eoghan Kenny asked the Minister for Transport the total expenditure by Iarnród Éireann on information technology and digital transformation projects which have been abandoned, terminated, substantially written down or replaced prior to full implementation in each of the years 2015 to 2026; to identify the projects concerned; the expenditure associated with each; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [64007/26]

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 any information technology and digital transformation projects undertaken, 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.
