Rathangan public transport improvements up for discussion at meeting tomorrow

Increasing public transport for Rathangan will be up for discussion at a meeting tomorrow.

Deputy Fiona O’ Loughlin Fianna Fáil TD for South Kildare will host a public meeting in the RYARC Centre at 7.30pm tomorrow.

 The guest speaker will be Alan Kerry, Manager of the Kildare and South Dublin Local Link service.

The public meeting is to discuss a possible increase in public transport to and from Rathangan.

Deputy O’ Loughlin said: "People living in Rathangan have been contacting me for some time over the lack of services during the week to and from Rathangan to urban centres such as Naas and Newbridge”.

She said: "There is currently a service on the weekends and this meeting will allow people the opportunity to show that increased service is needed. This meeting will allow the public to engage with the Local Link Bus Service for Kildare and express the need for a service in Rathangan."
