Joint Oireachtas Committee on Transport: Urban Public and Sustainable Transport: Discussion (1 Oct 2025)

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Transport: Urban Public and Sustainable Transport: Discussion (1 Oct 2025)

Emer Currie: My questions are for the NTA. The witnesses are hearing today about areas where BusConnects routes have not been introduced and that are falling behind in terms of capacity. One of those areas is Hollywoodrath. It is an area of major housing growth but we have not seen the provision of enough investment in bus services.

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Transport: Urban Public and Sustainable Transport: Discussion (1 Oct 2025)

Emer Currie: The tannoy in Connolly Station is very poor, communications around platform changes cannot be heard and the app is not always integrated with the signs in the station.
