The Deputy will be aware that a company that holds a bus route licence in respect of a public bus passenger service between Cork and Galway ceased to operate that service with effect from 3rd November 2008. Since it received notification of that cessation, my Department has been in regular contact with the company in question for the purpose of facilitating the possible re-instatement of the service. Resulting from those contacts the company has submitted proposals to re-introduce the service based on a revised routing and timetable. This submission is being considered as a matter of urgency by my Department with a view to giving an early decision.
