Text

Minister, last month, you attended the signing of a contract for a £500 million investment in new, faster and more modern Enterprise trains in Grand Central station. The hourly service has led to a significant increase in passenger numbers using that service, with up to 200,000 passengers a month boosting the thriving all-island economy and footfall in Belfast city centre and beyond. Given the huge success of the Enterprise service, will you work with the Dublin Government to ensure that more rail projects benefit from Shared Island Fund investment?
