“In particular, consideration should be given to installing a bus stop in the Jigginstown area, where there is currently no provision given the significant development in the area,” he told a Naas Municipal District committee meeting.

He said numerous residential developments have been completed in the area and “it’s not feasible for people to have to walk one and a half kilometre to get to a stop - they won’t do it.”
