Ms Anne Graham:

I am not sure about the detail but I can certainly forward the Deputy a note on the project. Providing such services has always been an ambition of the NTA and Ennis is on the list of towns we have assessed as requiring a town bus service. However, we are not in a position, given the funding constraints arising from Covid, to bring forward any new bus services this year. Even those that are ahead of Ennis will not be progressing this year. Unfortunately, that will delay delivery of other services. Providing a service in Ennis town is part of our ambition to provide much improved bus services in County Clare. The service will be designed as part of the improvements to Clare bus services but, unfortunately, I cannot give the Deputy a timeline at this stage for when it will be possible to deliver it.
