NTA urged to grant 'widespread' licence for private bus operator in East Cork

Councillors in East Cork, who have consistently criticised Bus Éireann services, have taken the unprecedented step of writing to the National Transport Authority (NTA) urging it to grant a "widespread" licence for a private bus company to operate in the region.

Councillors want Barry's Coaches, which operates the highly successful Cobh Direct service, to get more services in the East Cork area.
