Joint Oireachtas Committee on Transport

Rural Bus Transport: Discussion

2:00 am

Mr. Jeremy Ryan:

The Deputy is right. The reason we have not put on a town service in Tralee is because there already is a good commercial town service there. Is it something we could work with the commercial operator on in terms of improvements? Perhaps. There are towns, though, that obviously do not have any bus service at all or have not had until we have introduced services. They were obviously going to be a priority. Once we have a service up and running in Letterkenny, we will be moving into round 2 of what we will do with towns. Towns such as Tralee, Newbridge, Naas and others with populations above 20 000, in particular, will be looked at in a bit more detail.
