Joint Oireachtas Committee on Transport, Tourism and Sport

BusConnects: Discussion

Mr. Hugh Creegan:

I suppose we are disappointed with that feedback because we think considerable effort went into the Blanchardstown area which we recognise as a growing area. We recognise it is not as well served by bus transport as it should be. Considerable effort went in to try to put in what we think is a good future network to serve the various needs. As the Deputy knows Blanchardstown town centre is the heart of many things there. Taking the example she gave of Dunboyne, the 270 is an hourly service from Dunboyne into Blanchardstown. That is the hub, the key town connection, from Dunboyne.

We may need to make other changes and we will certainly get feedback from people. Some of the feedback we got from the Dunboyne area encouraged us to go at least for peak-hour services. It was not all coming from us; there were submissions proposing that.

To touch on some of the more direct-----
