Cllr Mark Hackett, Green Party Councillor in the Edenderry LEA of County Offaly welcomed the news as
a positive step towards lessoning our car dependency through improved connectivity. For Edenderry, the proposed new bus route links Portarlington to Mullingar via Clonbullogue and Kinnegad. We will know more about the public consultation shortly and I encourage people to get involved as inclusion of all voices will be key to the success of this plan.
John Holland, Green Party Local Area Representative for Graiguecullen Portarlington welcomed the plan
This plan addresses the inconsistency of connectivity between different parts of the country. Sustainable transport is the future and I welcome that this plan, once implemented, will mean that 70% of those living outside of cities will have access to a public transport service that provides at least three return trips each weekday to a nearby town. This is very welcome progress.
