Local Fianna Fail TD, Frank O’Rourke, has made representations to have the bus service serving Clane and Straffan commuters improved.
Frank commented, “The Bus Service, Route 120, needs to immediately increase its capacity. Recently, commuters have been left at Bus Stops as the Buses are full. This is really unacceptable.”
“I have repeatedly called for increased capacity on this 120 bus route. Recently the service is unacceptable due to lack of additional capacity and we need to improve this service immediately. We must improve this service.”
“The numbers of commuters are growing using this service from Clane and Straffan and we need to improve it. We also need to provide a link between Straffan and Maynooth / Celbridge. ”, Frank concluded.
Frank O’Rourke TD has said that this year must be the year we finally deal with the cost of insurance in Ireland

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.”
