'We shouldn't stop the road we are on': Minister aims to keep connecting rural bus services

The five-year Connecting Ireland Rural Mobility Plan has delivered almost 100 new services in two years, but Eamon Ryan thinks rural transport services are 'still a long way from the ideal'

Eamon Ryan: “I think we have a long way to go because we don't have a fully connected service network that I think we should."

If there is one thing Eamon Ryan is not in short supply of it is ambition and vision.

Understandably buoyed up by the latest figures which show a massive uptake of services on a rural transport network that he has actively trumpeted, he is also proud of what he is doing, and has yet to do.
