flag Irish Rail has not restored trolley catering on most intercity routes since pandemic-era suspensions, drawing criticism from passenger groups and Senator Mark Duffy, who demands transparency from the NTA and urges prioritization in Budget 2026. flag While some routes have resumed service, key lines serving Galway and Mayo remain without onboard food and drink options, with advocates calling the absence a barrier to public transport use and a disconnect from European standards. flag Proposals like vending machines and pre-order systems are under discussion, but no timeline for full reinstatement has been provided.
