NTA To Explore Extending Operating Area Of Ennis Town Bus Route

A Clare Fine Gael Councillor is hopeful of securing a significant expansion of the proposed Ennis town bus route. The service is set to become operational in the next 18 months with the aim of enhancing public connectivity to focal points in the town. Nearby Barefield, currently has just one weekly TFI Local Link route offering transport to Ennis, triggering calls from residents to see the town service extended to the Mid-Clare Village. The National Transport Authority has since committed to carrying out a feasibility study of the ammeneded schedule. Former Mayor of Ennis, Mary Howard who proposed the motion at yesterdays Municipal District meeting believes the extension would be transformational for the town.
