The provision of public bus services on specific routes is a commercial and operational matter for bus operators. However, there is a requirement on the State bus companies to notify my Department of any proposals to operate new bus services or to alter any existing services. My Department has received and is currently processing a notification from Bus Éireann for amendments to the 109 service. In accordance with long standing practice, details of all applications received in my Department remain confidential until a decision is made.
