End the ongoing segregation of rural communities

Councillor James Browne has called for an end to the ongoing segregation of rural communities from urban centres and necessary vital services. He stated that the the recent announcement of bus route closures which will result in the loss of bus routes from Clonroche and Bunclody was just another in a deliberate process of isolation and segregation of our rural communities. Cllr Browne stated that many people depend on these bus services to get to work, to hospital appointments, to see their families and to access vital services that have been lost locally. He has called on the National Transport Authority, which is the governing body in Ireland for public transport in Ireland, to step in and prevent the closures. Councillor Browne will be part of a Fianna Fail delegation, being led by John Browne TD, that will meet with the NTA this Wednesday in an attempt to have the NTA prevent Bus Eireann from closing the routes.
