​As the Deputy is aware, Monaghan is served by a range of PSO, Translink, Expressway and other licensed commercial services.  I am aware that Translink recently published a revised timetable for its X3 service effective 28 May and that this revised timetable did indicate the cessation of an early morning departure from Monaghan serving Dublin.

I understand that following discussions between Translink and the NTA, it has been agreed that this early morning service will in fact continue and I have no doubt the Deputy will welcome that decision.
