Prayer. 19/09/2018A00100Ceisteanna - Questions 19/09/2018A00200Ceisteanna ar Sonraíodh Uain Dóibh - Priority Questions 19/09/2018A00250Rail Services 19/09/2018A003001� Deputy Robert Troy asked the Minister for Transport, Tourism and Sport if his atten- tion has been drawn to the considerable disruption and inconvenience that has been caused to commuters by changes to the Irish Rail timetables; and the steps he will take to address this� [38002/18] 19/09/2018A00400Deputy Robert Troy: I ask the Minister for Transport, Tourism and Sport if his attention has been drawn to the considerable disruption and inconvenience caused to commuters on the Maynooth line, M3 Parkway line, northern commuter line, Newbridge and Hazelhatch line, Heuston commuter line, my own line from Mullingar and the Longford and Sligo line as a result of the introduction of the new Irish Rail timetable on 9 September� Could he advise the House what measures his Department will take to address the long delays? 19/09/2018A00500Minister for Transport, Tourism and Sport (Deputy Shane Ross): I thank the Deputy for his topical question� As Minister for Transport, Tourism and Sport, I have responsibility for policy and overall funding in relation to public transport� I am not involved in the day-to- day operations of public transport� As the Deputy is aware, the operation of Iarnród Éireann services, including the new timetables on the DART, is a matter for the company with oversight by the National Transport Authority, NTA� One of the features of Dublin’s future transport infrastructure that is proposed in the NTA’s 113 Dáil Éireann transport strategy for the greater Dublin area 2016-2035 is implementation of the full DART expansion programme� The DART expansion programme is a series of projects that will cre- ate a full metropolitan area DART network for Dublin, with all the lines linked and connected� While interlinked, the projects will also have benefits as stand-alone projects. The National Development Plan, NDP, 2018-2027 includes delivery of the priority elements of the overall DART expansion programme� Also, by optimising the delivery of both passenger and network benefits through a large NDP capital investment that builds first on optimising the existing rail infrastructure, there should also be better value for money for the taxpayer� As part of the DART expansion programme and the move to a ten-minute frequency for DART services, Iarnród Éireann introduced a new timetable on Sunday, 9 September to provide for enhanced DART frequency� Iarnród Éireann has stated that the new timetable provides for a 28% increase in overall DART capacity and moves from 156 services per day to 195 services per day. The company also indicated that the more frequent off-peak DART was introduced as a direct response to market research which showed greater demand for off-peak services. As sometimes occurs when new timetables are introduced, some teething issues arise that need to be reviewed and adjusted in order to ensure that the new arrangements reasonably ad- dress customers’ needs� I understand that while the vast majority of this new timetable has provided a much enhanced service to DART commuters now and enables the provision of ad- ditional off-peak commuter services from December of this year, some capacity issues have arisen� I am assured that Iarnród Éireann is working with the NTA to iron out those problems� The main issue that has arisen is around capacity on the northside of Dublin, and Iarnród Éireann has responded swiftly to customer concerns by scheduling additional morning peak services from Portmarnock and Clongriffin. From Monday, 17 September there has been a 7�29 a�m� service from Portmarnock station to Pearse station and a service from Portmarnock to Bray. Clongriffin has had an additional service provided by Iarnród Éireann at 7.45 a.m. which runs from Clongriffin to Bray. In summary, with these further services now added by Iarnród Éireann, Portmarnock now has the same number of peak morning services as it had before the timetable change and Clon- griffin has one extra. Iarnród Éireann has stated that it believes that these changes will address the frequency concerns from passengers from Portmarnock and Clongriffin and the capacity issues that have arisen particularly at DART stations such as Harmonstown and Killester� 19/09/2018A00600Deputy Robert Troy: I am hardly surprised the Minister is not taking responsibility be- cause that is a general trend of his� He Minister described teething problems� Charlie Weston tweeted this morning that he takes the train every morning and it has not been on time since 9 September� The Minister alluded to DART frequency, with trains

    Ireland ITF Presidency 2021 IRELAND – ITF PRESIDENCY 2021 A SHOWCASE OF TRANSPORT INNOVATION AND SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT IN IRELAND gov.ie Introduction Aerospace & Aviation This booklet showcases Irish Innovation in the Transport Sector both past and present. It provides a summary of how Irish entrepreneurs, companies and agencies have always been, and continue to be, at the forefront of designing and delivering innovative mobility solutions and new transport Roads Sustainable technologies. From the design of the world’s first dedicated & Freight Mobility passenger railway in 1884 to the opening of the Future Mobility Campus Ireland to test Autonomous Connected Electric Shared Vehicles (ACES)) in 2021. Smart Urban As we begin to emerge from the COVID-19 pandemic and Mobility once more increase capacity on our public transport systems and unwind travel restrictions, innovative solutions will play a key role in allowing us to travel, safely and efficiently into the future. One such example was the pedestrianisation trials of the Grafton Street Area conducted by Dublin City Connected Maritime Council in 2020, which examined how we might redesign our Transport Transport urban spaces to allow citizens to travel more safely while also promoting active travel modes. Innovations will also play a crucial role in tackling the climate Research and crisis and in helping us to achieve our national objective of Manufacturing decarbonising the transport sector by 2050.
