Lack of Bus Services in Ashbourne Leaving Residents "Stranded” - 01/04/2026

The lack of bus services in Ashbourne is leaving residents "stranded”, a Meath councillor has said.At the March meeting of the Ashbourne Municipal District, Sinn Féin councillor Helen Meyer called on Meath County Council to contact the National Transport Authority (NTA) to discuss plans for increasing bus services in the town.In response, Meath County Council said its role is limited to assisting the NTA with infrastructure such as bus stops, while the operational aspects of bus services remain the responsibility of the NTA and bus operators.Speaking afterwards, Cllr Meyer said she “strongly disagrees” with the idea that the council’s “only responsibility is to assist in providing bus services”.Councillor Meyer joined us on The Agenda this morning to talk to us some more about this.  Hosted on Acast.
