Réada Cronin (Kildare North, Sinn Fein) | Oireachtas source

I also want to talk about the Go-Ahead bus service, in my case the 120 service in north Kildare. It is the bane of workers’ lives in north Kildare. Workers are out in the cold at the crack of dawn, waiting for a bus that does not turn up, that just disappears, that is late or that is too full and will not let them on. I know of several workers in north Kildare who are on late warnings from their employer and one on a final late warning because of the 120 bus and the absolutely appalling Go-Ahead service. In particular, when we have a Green Party Minister as the head of the Department of Transport, and with climate collapse at our doorstep, it is unbelievable to think that we are depending on the private sector to provide a public service. I will leave it at that because I only have a few minutes and that is because four of us from the Sinn Féin Party are here to bring up the Go-Ahead service. It is a disgrace.
