DUBLIN BUS NEWS
Our Local Representative, Deputy John Curran, has informed the residents
that the Dublin Bus free Travel Pass can now be used from 9 o'clock in the morning up until 4.30 in the afternoon,
amd again after 6.30 in the evening. This is a very welcome change especially for all those who have Doctor or hospital appointments
etc. These new times apply Monday to Friday (excluding Bank Holidays, where, like Saturdays and Sundays, there are no time
restrictions).
 STONE THROWING AT OUR BUSES
Dublin Bus have warned once again the possibility of our buses being withdrawn
from service in our community because of the frequent damage to windows and the possible serious injury to their customers
and our neighbours from youths throwing stones at the buses.
What can we, as a community, do?
-
Talk about the danger of what could happen if a bus goes out of control.
-
Someone they know and love could be on the bus or playing nearby, so it
doesn't make sense to do what they're doing.
-
Tell parents if younger children are throwing stiones.
-
Don't be offended if someone tells you that your child is involved. Talk
to them and explain it is not harmless fun and they need their bus to bring them to hospital, school, cinema, visiting, the
seaside this summer, and school trips.

CAN LEAVE US WITHOUT OUR BUSES ***
 IARNROD EIREANN'S 'KILDARE ROUTE' PLAN
Time was of the essence for the Moorefield residents
to have a entered a submission on the environmental effects and quality of life issues that will impact on Moorefield residents.
Iarnrod Eireann's 'Kildare Route' plan includes inserting two extra tracks and to demolish the historical Neillstown Bridge.
(Neillstown being spelt with two "L's" from the historical accounts of the area).
The Moorefield Environment Group again think it best that the residents should have
a copy of the Environmental Impact Statement and a copy of the Moorefield residents submission. MEG can confirm that residents
who forwarded personal submissions had those submissions presented at the oral inquiry by MEG. See below, the
bulletin MEG sent out to residents.
