Positive news on Mayo bus connectivity

THE National Transport Authority (NTA) has proposed the introduction of a new bus service that will offer passengers in north and east Mayo regular daily services to Ireland West Airport.

It follows a series of representations on the matter from Senator Mark Duffy.

The proposed service will connect passengers with the Route 22 Ballina - Dublin service in Charlestown, serving Knock airport, then travelling onwards to Kiltimagh and finishing in Castlebar.

Said Senator Duffy: “The news is very positive for towns and communities across east Mayo.

"I am glad that the NTA has accepted my proposals and I am calling on the government to fund this proposal, which will enhance connectivity across Mayo.

“I will be doing everything I can to advocate for its delivery.”
