BusConnects is bringing many positive changes to the city. However, the residents of Chapelizod have expressed their concern to me because six routes that go through the village are becoming one. Other areas such as Bluebell are seeing a similar level of disconnect. I do not know how we will get people out of cars to meet our climate ambition unless we give them a meaningful bus service. Will the Government instruct the NTA to ensure that no community is left behind or cut off? There should only be positive changes. Will the Government instruct the NTA to meet residents to find a way forward so that six bus routes becoming one does not leave Chapelizod cut off?
