The Commission for Railway Regulation (CRR) (Irish: An Coimisiún um Rialáil Iarnróid, CRI), formerly the Railway Safety Commission (Irish: Coimisiún Sábháilteachta Iarnróid, CSI) is an agency of the Republic of Ireland government. Its head office is in Temple House in Blackrock.[1]

The CRR regulates Irish rail networks. The agency was established on 1 January 2006 as part of the Railway Safety Act 2005.[2]

The Railway Accident Investigation Unit (RAIU), a functionally independent unit of the CRR, investigates accidents and incidents on Irish railways.[3]

The RSC became the Commission for Railway Regulation (CRR) on 29 February 2016 following its designation as a regulatory body under EU law.
