    II.1.5)

    Short description of the contract or purchase(s)

    Iarnród Éireann - Irish Rail (IE) is the Irish national railway company in Ireland

    wholly owned by the Irish government. It is a subsidiary of Córas Iompair

    Éireann (CIE), the national transport company. Iarnród Éireann provides

    passenger and freight rail services as well as operating Rosslare Europort.

    Iarnród Éireann is organised into two divisions:

    • The Infrastructure Manager (IM) is responsible for establishing, managing

    and maintaining the railway infrastructure including traffic management, control,

    command and signalling.

    • The Railway Undertaking (RU) is responsible for the principal business of

    providing services for rail transport of passengers and freight.

    EU directive 2001/14/EC, now transposed into Irish Law as S.I. No. 249 of

    2015, requires member states to implement a track access regime (TAR). As the

    Iarnród Éireann IM and RU divisions are not considered to be sufficiently

    independent of each other, given the structure of Iarnród Éireann, an

    independent essential functions body (EFB) has been established within CIE to

    perform the essential functions of capacity allocation and track access charging.
