I understand that Dublin Bus is currently finalising the review of its bus network and I expect to receive the completed report shortly. The company has just submitted an application for funding for additional fleet requirements, which has due regard to the emerging findings of the network review. I will make a decision when the assessment has been completed. While the document includes proposed improvements for the Clondalkin area, the deployment of its fleet is a day to day matter for Dublin Bus.

I understand that the south Clondalkin QBC is almost completed. Upon resolution of some outstanding issues by the contractor, South Dublin County Council will be in a position to issue the remaining certificates of completion and take possession of the entire site. It is hoped that the corridor will be operational in the near future.
