Local councillor had fears about bus stop

A local councillor who raised concerns about a Dublin city centre bus terminus that was yesterday the scene of a crash that claimed five lives, today spoke of fears expressed before the tragedy about personal safety.

Catherine Murphy, chairwoman of the traffic and transport committee of Leixlip Town Council, highlighted the “unsatisfactory” bus location on the River Liffeyside Wellington Quay with executives of the Dublin Bus Company less than two weeks ago.
