Frank commented, “On the 66 Service I’m pursuing an improved frequency and in particular along the Glen Easton Road as this is an issue which comes up at my weekly clinics in Leixlip.”
“On the 67 Service I’m pursuing an earlier Sunday morning service with a more regular frequency of this Sunday service along with a later 67X from Dublin on the weekdays to accommodate all those public transport users that work until 6pm each evening. I hope to have positive updates on these issues very soon.” Continue reading “O’ROURKE SEEKING IMPROVEMENTS ON THE 66 AND 67 SERVICE”

Frank O’Rourke TD has professed himself delighted to see the pedestrian crossing on the Lucan Road at Ballyoulster in Celbridge installed
Frank said, “This is a project that I have been working on for some time at the request of many residents and members of the public so that safety would be improved at this location. The Lucan Road is an extremely busy and fast road and it was very difficult for people to cross the road safely to access Dublin Bus or for the many other amenities or services such as shops, schools etc. It is very important that traffic management gets people to their destination safer and not faster.”
“This project was funded from LPT money and I want to thank my colleagues for supporting this project which I pursued for funding. I am pleased to have worked also to deliver the bus stop shelter and the interconnecting footpath at Ballyoulster.”
I want to thank Cllr Michael Coleman for supporting these projects, the Kildare Co Council Area Office for delivering on them and the members of the public who raised these issues with me at my weekly clinics.
