The provision of public bus services by private bus operators or Bus Éireann on specific routes to serve particular towns is a day-to-day operational matter for the companies themselves.

The table below gives details of the current Bus Éireann services notified to my Department and the private operator who is licensed for services to and from Ballaghdereen. Also shown are the services that connect to rail services.
