Frank O’Rourke TD has called on the national transport authority and Kildare Co Co to provide a Bus Lane on the M4 which could be done as part of the upgrade that is going to take place this year on the motorway

Frank O’Rourke TD has called on the Minister for Education to press ahead with the provision of the school campus for Celbridge
“Three schools, Celbridge Community School, St Patricks National School, and St Raphael’s Special School are set to be co-located and we need to press ahead with the project without delay. All schools need a permanent location and having them on the same site as part of an educational campus make sense. We have a growing population and need to ensure that our educational facilities are fit for purpose given this growth.”
“I have made repeated representations and put down a parliamentary question to the Minister for Education in relation to this issue. I received a commitment that it is a priority for the Department of Education to progress this project. I will keep the pressure on the Department and the Minster to ensure that we make progress for these schools.”
Frank O’Rourke TD has again called on the National Transport Authority (NTA) to approve an orbital route from Maynooth to Tallaght via Celbridge, Rathcoole and City West.
“I know from my clinics that there is a growing demand for a service linking Maynooth and Celbridge to City West and Tallaght, Many commuters need this connection for work, Education, hospital visits, and connections to other public transport services and for recreational purposes.”

Frank O’Rourke TD has welcomed the news that plans are well advanced for an Airport Hopper service for Celbridge to commence at the end of April 2020.
“This is further good news for the people of Celbridge. Since getting elected, I have made representations and had meetings with the Management to have an Airport Hopper Service for Celbridge. The Airport Hopper is an hourly direct airport shuttle service from Dublin Airport that is in service for Maynooth and Leixlip areas.” Continue reading “O’ROURKE WELCOMES CELBRIDGE AIRHOPPER SERVICE”
Frank O’Rourke TD spoke in the Dáil this week on the timeline for the opening of the Dental Clinic at the refurbished Health Centre in Celbridge.
Frank said, “The Dental Clinic was promised 12 months ago, and in reply to a sequence of PQs I raised with the Minister for Health, we are now being told it is to be pushed out for another 4 years. This is entirely unacceptable, especially as the closest alternative service is almost 30km away in Naas. I have called on the Minister to meet with me,important issue, and in the interim, to offer a viable solution which will provide access for families, to a dental service.”
