Ms O. Mitchell
asked the
Minister for Transport
if he has received a report from the RPA in respect of the Luas derailment which occurred at St. Stephen’s Green.
[23065/04]
Minister for Transport (Mr. Cullen):
I presume the Deputy is referring to the incident that took place on 17 September 2004. I am advised by the interim railway safety commission that it expects to receive a report into the incident from Connex, the tram operator, shortly. Shortly after the incident, two inspectors from the interim commission inspected the scene and since then have been monitoring the investigation by Connex. The interim commission is also keeping in contact with the Garda regarding its investigation. It would be inappropriate to speculate on the likely cause of the collision before Connex finalises its report and while the Garda investigation is ongoing.
