"Urban style" buses, which are fully accessible, will operate the service
A more comprehensive bus service is to be provided in Clonmel.
Cllr Michael Murphy said he had been informed by District Administrator Carol Creighton that she had been in contact with John Nott in the National Transport Authority (NTA) in relation to the service.
“He has indicated that despite having said that the NTA had set a target for a January implementation date for the interim town service, they carried out a review of the demand within the town, and now feel that it would be appropriate to provide a more comprehensive service for Clonmel, aligned to the town service policy in similar sized towns,” Ms Creighton stated.
“They have designed a more comprehensive solution – moving from one bus per hour for a 12-hour day to a half-hourly service over a longer operational day.
“Funding has been secured for the service and the NTA are moving to operator procurement.
“They have also secured urban style buses, which are fully accessible, to operate the service.
“Given the scale of operation, they need to now make some amendments to the existing procurement processes and this is where the delays lie,” Ms Creighton added.
She said that Mr Nott would be happy to meet with councillors to set out the plans and the NTA vision for Clonmel when everything is in place from their side.
