Balfe: Public transport option for commuters 'inadequate'

Public transport in Meath East remains inadequate for the needs of commuters, workers, students, shoppers, patients seeking medical care, and those travelling for social reasons, according to Labour candidate Eilish Balfe, who said that despite substantial population growth in Meath, the infrastructure remains stuck in the past, leaving many residents without viable transport options.

“I will urgently support direct routes from Ashbourne and Ratoath to Dublin, a feeder bus to the M3 train station, and the extension of bus routes to reach rural areas of Meath East.
