Amharc ar fhreagraThe provision of public bus services on specific routes, in response to demand for public bus services, is a commercial and operational matter for bus operators.
The only application on hand from Bus Átha Cliath for the north Kildare area is a request for permission, in accordance with section 25 of the Transport Act 1958, for changes to their existing 67/67A services which operate between Celbridge and the city centre. The application is currently being finalised and a decision will be made shortly.
