Meeting arranged with Minister about School Buildings For Celbridge

Frank O’Rourke TD has arranged a meeting with the Minister for Education, Richard Bruton TD, his officials, and Kildare County Council to press for permanent school buildings for Celbridge.

Cllr Frank O’Rourke welcomes new 67 Bus service

Cllr Frank O’Rourke is delighted to inform the people of Celbridge and the surrounding area that there will be an additional 67 Dublin Bus service from Celbridge to Maynooth at 8.15am Monday to Friday.

“I received numerous requests from the public to help improve this service. This will assist the commuters who use Dublin Bus each morning and have found it very difficult in recent days and weeks due to the large numbers using this service. This will give all commuters that need to use this service at this time each day certainty and comfort for their journey.”

“We need to continue to invest and improve public transport to assist those that use it and to encourage more to use our public transport. Thanks to Dublin Bus for working with me on upgrading this 67 service on behalf of the public transport user.”
