Joint Oireachtas Committee on Transport, Tourism and Sport

BusConnects: Discussion

Mr. Hugh Creegan:

On the consultation locations, what we wanted to do differently this time was to focus on putting together understandable brochures that people could read and get information out of and then put them into every letter box across the city. It was then intended to supplement that with a more limited number of longer and more resourced information days. It is because of that we have gone for 16 information days at eight locations. We appreciate it is not in every area. However, the theory behind it is that we put a map and brochure into everybody’s house.

Most of last year was spent explaining the network to people. Now it is much more understandable and, hopefully, the need for the same level of explanation is not there. Swords would probably be one of the locations in the Deputy's general area. I know it is north of Clongriffin and the city centre and that they are not as close as the Bonnington Hotel but we are doing this for the whole of November. We made the decision regarding a smaller number of key locations where we could put more resources and then supplement it with individual brochures. Real-time passenger information is going in at Broombridge station.
