New bus stop considered for Kildare town

A new bus stop is being considered for Naas.

A request for the stop to the stop, along with timetable information, to be provided at the Centra store in Hazelmere, came from Cllr Anne Breen.

Cllr Breen said this would ensure that the new bus route (895), which links Sallins with west Wicklow, via Naas, is utilised and Kildare County Council engineer Chris Galvin said the request will be examined by KCC’s sustainable transport section.

A Naas Municipal District committee meeting was told that if location is found to be suitable from a road safety point of view, the proposal will be “raised for discussion” with the National Transport Authority and the service provider.
