Search Results for 'proper bus services'

Sinn Féin Councillor and Galway East General Election candidate, Louis O'Hara, has said that commuters in Loughrea have been completely failed by the Government and NTA (National Transport Authority).

It will be a shame if Galway loses out on major employment opportunities because of its failure to provide a proper roads network, former mayor Noel Larkin said this week at the oral hearing into the proposed Galway City Ring Road.

A proposal by Fine Gael councillor Pearce Flannery to try to allievate traffic congestion on the Seamus Quirke Road has failed to get the backing of Galway City Council, despite impassioned pleas from a number of local representatives. Cllr Flannery wanted the National Transport Authority to consider piloting a scheme whereby cars with three or more people could travel on the bus lane on Seamus Quirke Road. He believes this would encourage commuters travelling from the west side of the city to work on the east side to car pool. He has spoken before about the length of time it takes to cross the city at rush hour.
