- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Transport, Tourism and Sport: BusConnects: Discussion (6 Nov 2019)

- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Transport, Tourism and Sport: BusConnects: Discussion (6 Nov 2019)
Ruth Coppinger: What is the point in having a public consultation? The spine services are fine but I am talking about people who are not served by them, the thousands of people who live in Littlepace, Castaheany, Mulhuddart and Corduff. They are now getting a worse service if they want to get into town to work in the morning or throughout the day. The authority needs to listen to this. Can it not save...

- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Transport, Tourism and Sport: BusConnects: Discussion (6 Nov 2019)

The witnesses are convinced that it is going to be quicker for those of us who go into and out of the town centre every day. There is a bus lane in and out and, if the authority is proposing more, can we see the plans? The bus lanes are, by the way, regularly used by cars.
