With the impending opening of the new swimming pool in Claremorris, Fianna Fáil councillor Pat McHugh questioned the feasibility of moving the bus stops in the town from their current locations beside the swimming pool and the church to beside the train station, at this week’s local electoral area committee.
“We objected initially to moving the bus stops to their current location. We now have a large car park beside the train station which is underused and it would be the prefect location for the bus stop in the town and would lead to an interlinking of the two items of public transport in the town.”
Cllr McHugh’s suggestion received positive support from the council executive with director of services Seamus Granahan telling the meeting: “We’ll definitely make contact with CIE to talk about this, it’s something that we should have a look at.” Senior engineer Tom Ferrick also spoke favourably of the suggestion.
