Bus Services
Seanad Éireann — 2026-09-22
============================================================

Jerry Buttimer (FG), Cork South-Central

I reassure the Senator and the House that I am fully committed to delivering a more sustainable, inclusive and accessible transport system for current and future generations. The Senator is right that it is about getting away from the car and enhanced connectivity.
The NTA is planning for further phases of the town bus programme, which include Newbridge and Naas, with public consultation taking place in October. I am committed to the expansion of the public transport network and to increasing the service throughout the country, including County Kildare. Congratulations on having the ploughing next year in Rathangan.
