333. Deputy Paul Lawless asked the Minister for Transport whether consideration will be given to revisiting previously approved infrastructure proposals for the replacement of level crossings at Knockaphunta (XM250) and Kilnageer (XM240) in County Mayo, where planning permission for bridge infrastructure was previously granted but the projects did not proceed. [65579/26]

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 the level crossings referred to, 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.
