Joint Oireachtas Committee on Social Protection

Local Link Transport Services: Discussion

Ms Anne Graham:

I cannot talk about what exactly is planned under Connecting Ireland. Our ambition is to do a lot more frequency and much later services in Galway, as we have done, as the Deputy said, with the Oughterad service. I have to make a distinction between those services that are licensed and those we contract. Citylink is a licensed service and it has to make the commercial decision on whether it wishes to extend into the evening. Under Connecting Ireland, we do not look at services in an operator-specific way. We look at a service from a town to another town and what the level of service we want to deliver there is. If a commercial operator is operating, it is a little more challenging to deliver a service when a commercial service is already running alongside that.
