Minister for Transport and Green Party leader Eamon Ryan has said that there will be no shortage in financial support during the Covid-19 crisis into next year for public transport.
Yesterday, Bus Éireann announced the services between Dublin and Galway, Limerick and Cork will end when the emergency supports for the routes expire, which is expected to happen early next year.
Speaking on RTÉ's Morning Ireland, Mr Ryan said that Bus Eireann's airport transport has been largely reduced following the crisis and it is a commercial decision to redeploy service to areas of urban growth including Louth and Meath.
He said that Bus Éireann's board had made the decision to manage resources by pulling out of four routes and consolidating 14 routes.
