Disappointment in Cork City over talks on bus route

Residents on Cork’s northside fighting to save their bus service have expressed bitter disappointment after talks with Bus Éireann yesterday.

Communities leaders in the Glen, who last week staged a road blockade to highlight the axing of a bus route to the area, said they were “totally unsatisfied” with the result of talks held with company managers.

A delegation of residents, including Gary Murphy, Jimmy O’Donovan, and Bill Dunlea from the Blackpool Community Association, met with Bus Éireann managers Joe Fitzgerald and Martin Walsh for an hour yesterday to discuss the axing of the number 12 service to the Glen.
