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
“Given the increased numbers using public transport and the requirement to provide a better public transport service for people livening in North Kildare, we need to ensure that Bus travel times reduces to enable a better service.” Continue reading “O’ROURKE CALLS FOR BUS LANE ON M4”
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.”

Michael commented, “Unfortunately, for the second year in a row, Councillors today voted against free parking in Celbridge and Leixlip for the Christmas season. I am very disappointed that I was not supported by my fellow Celbridge Councillors concerning the proposal that I once again put forward at the request of Celbridge Business Association (C.B.A.) and businesses in Leixlip. My priority has been, and always will be, promoting our local businesses, economy and jobs and our businesses have stated to all of the Councillors that they have suffered greatly as a result of not having free parking last Christmas.”
“Recently, additional services were added to the 139 Bus Route servicing Naas to Blanchardstown, via Clane, Rathcoffey Maynooth and Leixlip. One additional service at 7.00am departing Naa…s and one additional evening return service.”
“This service is growing in popularity, students attending college, commuters linking to the train service, people going to work, hospital visits or using other public transport services are examples of the valuable contribution to the area.”
“I campaigned for this Orbital Route and it is now in service for well over a year. We need to increase the number of services on the route and more commuters will use it. I will continue to raise the issue with the National Transport Authority to have the service improved.”
“As we cater for increased demand for public transport, we need to improve the Bus and Rail Services for North Kildare. The Bus and Rail Service for Kilcock needs improvement. Rail service on the Maynooth and Kildare Line need to be improved and we need a connection linking Maynooth to Tallaght via Celbridge and City West.”
Frank O’Rourke TD has called on the Government to provide more support for the Irish SME sector given its importance to the Irish and indeed local Kildare economy
“Two recent reports have cited rising costs as a main concern for 50% of Irish SMEs. The SME sector is the backbone of the economy. We need to support them and help them create and sustain jobs. Rising costs, such as rates and Insurance, is a big …problem for many SMEs and it needs to be addressed.”
