I have been contacted by numerous members of the public which travel from Hazelhatch in Celbridge by train to Dublin. The concern and issue they have raised with me is in the evening their is no train leaving Dublin between 17.20 and 17.55 which services Hazelhatch. This is a very common time for people finishing work etc and it is unfair given that their is three trains passing through Hazelhatch in this time frame that none of them service Celbridge and the surrounding area.

I have made contact with Irish rail in an effort to have a solution brought about to this issue. I will be engaging positively to ensure the travelling public have an improved service. It is very important that the required and necessary services are in place if we are to attract people from their cars and onto the public transport system.
