He said a stop would significantly improve public transport accessibility for local residents and support sustainable transport options.

Meanwhile Cllr Anne Breen wants a new stop on the Blessington Road "to facilitate passengers from the many houses and housing estates in this area using Bus Route 183 Arklow to Sallins."
