I have received confirmation from the National Transport Authority (NTA) that they are providing funding for improvements in the transport connectivity in the evenings between Loughrea and Galway.

Following a question to the Minister for Transport, the NTA have confirmed that they are currently working with Local Link Galway to provide improved public transport connectivity in the evening between Galway and Loughrea.

They further confirm that they have agreed funding for this route and have agreed with Local Link Galway to go to tender, following agreement on the finalised timetable.

The NTA have stated that more details will be available in due course once the tender process has concluded.

“I thank the NTA for their prompt response and I look forward to an improvement in services in the coming months. Loughrea also requires additional bus stops, and I am engaging with the NTA on this matter also”.
