The Transport Minister, Eamon Ryan, has been called on to intervene following the announcement that another bus company contracted to run rural routes is to close.

A bus company in north Kilkenny which is contracted to run rural routes in the region has announced it is ceasing operations, saying it has been unable to cope due to “soaring costs”.
