Statutory mandate

Operation of the national rail network

What this means

  • Iarnród Éireann is the state company responsible for running and maintaining Ireland's national railway network, including intercity, commuter and DART services.[source]
  • Its legal mandate to operate rail services was established by the Transport (Reorganisation of Córas Iompair Éireann) Act 1986, which restructured public transport in Ireland.[source]
  • The 1986 Act created Iarnród Éireann as a separate body from the wider CIE group, giving it a distinct role focused solely on rail operations.[source]
  • This mandate matters for public accountability because Iarnród Éireann is a state-owned entity providing essential transport services to passengers across Ireland.[source]
