The request was heard at a recent Kildare County Council meeting

A local councillor has called for a extend bus route which passes through County Kildare to a hospital situated in County Dublin.

During the early stages of the meeting, she motioned for Kildare County Council (KCC) to write to ‘both the National Transport Authority (NTA) and Health Service Executive (HSE) requesting that the 139 bus route be extended to James Connolly Hospital’.

Her motion was seconded by Fine Gael Cllr Tim Durkan.

Replying to Cllr Feeney’s motion, KCC had this to say: “If this motion is passed by the members, KCC will write to the NTA and the HSE.”

Following a brief vote, it was overwhelmingly agreed that KCC would write to both organisations on behalf of Cllr Feeney.
