A fifth of Limerick towns and villages have no public transport available

New study recommends a revamped bus service that would allow for an 'every village, every hour' service to every census settlement in Co Limerick

Kilfinane, Co. Limerick was found to be transport-deprived.

A fifth of towns and villages in Co Limerick are suffering transport deprivation, with no public transport available, while a similar percentage of settlements in the county have a "very low level of public transport provision".

The findings are contained in a new study, to be presented this week at a national transport conference, and which recommends a revamped bus service that would allow for an "every village, every hour" service to every census settlement in Co Limerick.
