Calls have been made by a major transport union for "community support and political intervention" after Bus Éireann said it was to axe a number of routes including Cork-Dublin and Limerick-Dublin.

Bus Éireann's Expressway routes between Cork-Dublin and Limerick-Dublin are to cease, the firm said, and the Dublin to Galway route is also being axed.
