Anger at ‘inhumane treatment’ of vomiting bus passenger

Bus Éireann has apologised for its treatment of a frail, elderly passenger who was removed from a bus after becoming violently ill.

The company said it is investigating all the circumstances surrounding the incident on the route 40 Tralee to Cork bus, to ensure it does not happen again.

“We apologise if any undue distress was caused in this situation, and we will be in contact with the customer directly,” a company spokesperson said.
