Community Concerns and Official Response

Councillor Darragh Adelaide highlighted the impact of these transport issues on local residents. He said:

[translate:“The 13 coming through Clondalkin was listed as one of the most cancelled buses in Dublin. These are issues that are affecting a lot of people, particularly older people who, if a bus is cancelled, they’re left there waiting in the cold. Same with people with disabilities, people with young kids, but also people trying to get to work.”]
