Questioning Minister Shane Ross on Clare Bus
In his handling of the Clare Bus issue, Minister Shane Ross has let down those who used its services, particularly those with reduced mobility, and rural Clare.
Clare Bus
In Dáil Éireann today, I called on the National Transport Authority and Minister for Transport to review the decision to cancel a two-year contract won by Clare Bus in December to operate 12 routes. This move has threatened jobs and has undermined the future provision of Local Link services in Clare.
Reverse Clare Bus decision
I have submitted a request to the National Transport Authority and Minister for Transport to immediately review the decision to cancel a two-year contract won by Clare Bus in December to operate 12 routes. This move threatens jobs and undermines the future provision of Local Link services in Clare. I would ask that any decision be reversed until the ongoing COVID-19 crisis has passed after which a comprehensive review should be carried out.
