Following representations by Cllr Neale Richmond; members and officials from Dun Laoghaire Rathdown County Council will meet representatives of Dublin Bus to discuss the implications for the County of the bus network review on Monday 26th April.

Welcoming the news Cllr Richmond said “This will be an excellent opportunity for Councillors to raise the many issues relating to bus services that are affecting people in our area.

“This will enable Councillors to also raise the question of how Dublin Bus will dovetail with the LUAS extension when it becomes operational in October and see if any feeder bus or route changes are planned to accommodate this.

“This meeting will be the first concrete opportunity of this Council term for Councillors to engage in a meaningful discussion with Dublin Bus about when and where services our needed most.”
