    Advice to motorists travelling to Dublin Airport

    From Monday next 15th February, motorists who normally access the airport from the R132 (old Sword Rd) opposite ALSAA are advised to by-pass this entrance and enter the airport via the main Airport Roundabout.

    Major road works will take place from this date at the Cargo Road/Fuel Area junction within the airport campus, consequently traffic around this area will be reduced to one lane for the duration of the works.

    This work is expected to continue until the end of March.

    Statement from Bus Éireann

    Bus Éireann has today (March 10th 2010) said that the implementation of the next stage of the first phase of changes to services with low customer support under its cost recovery plan as recommended by the Labour Court and independent consultants Deloitte will start on March 28th 2010. The changes will see a reduction in frequency and/or a change in routing on 18 routes and one route withdrawn.

    In recent years, Bus Éireann has significantly expanded its network of services across the country. However, the economic downturn has seen a significant drop in demand for public transport because of the fall in the number of people in work, the drop in the number of non-Irish nationals in the country, the significant slowdown in retailing and a substantial reduction in the number of tourists visiting Ireland. This has resulted in Bus Éireann customer numbers falling by over 10 per cent in 2009, which has impacted negatively on the company’s revenues and means it can no longer afford to operate the same high level of services as it has previously given the funding available to it.

    As a responsible commercial semi-State, Bus Éireann must address this situation by further reducing its cost base and bringing service levels in line with falling demand. According to an independent review by Deloitte, which was commissioned by the Department of Transport, because Bus Éireann is efficient “it will not be possible to make major cost savings on the Bus Éireann network without reducing services”.

    The cost recovery plan is designed to protect as many services and jobs as possible so that Bus Éireann can continue to provide transport to the considerable number of people throughout the country who use our services every day, while returning the company to a stronger financial position.

    Changes to services with low customer support are being introduced on a phased basis and the majority of changes will be to the frequency and/or the routing of services.

    Unfortunately, there are a small number of services throughout the country that have very low customer support and given the current economic environment and the limit to the operational funds available to the company these services are no longer sustainable.

    Such services often have five passengers or less per departure. In many such cases, the fare revenue from these customers doesn’t even cover the fuel for the bus let alone the wages for the driver or the maintenance of the vehicle. Bus Éireann must curtail such services otherwise it would have no alternative but to make changes to services that have much higher levels of support.

    In making these changes, Bus Éireann will seek to minimise their impact on its customers and its integrated network as much as possible.

    The level of further changes required will depend on the savings that can be achieved in earlier phases.

    It is with great regret that Bus Éireann has to take this action, but it is unavoidable and necessary given the deterioration in the economy over the last 18 months and the subsequent fall in customer numbers. The company is acutely aware of the difficulties these changes may cause for customers. However, implementation of the cost recovery plan, which follows on-going cost reducing measures over recent years, is vital to ensuring the continuance of as many of our 330 routes as possible.

    Safety and customer service will, as always, remain the company’s priorities.

    Information on service changes will be available from local travel centres and viewable at www.buseireann.ie. Further service changes will be announced in advance of them coming into place.

    In light of the current economic position of the country, the company will continue to review its financial position on an on-going basis.

    Timetable and Routing Changes

    Ferry sailings cancelled due to rough seas
    listen Tuesday, 30 March 2010 20:24

    Road and ferry transport has been disrupted by adverse weather conditions.

    The Stena Line express sailing on the Dún Laoghaire to Holyhead route at 1.15pm was cancelled, as was the Irish Ferries swift crossing on the Dublin to Holyhead route at 2.30pm.

    Both ferry companies said services tomorrow are in doubt because of expected rough seas.

    All P&O fast ferry sailings between Larne, Co Antrim, and Cairnryan in Scotland have been cancelled because of rough seas, although passengers will still be able to travel on conventional ferry sailings.

    Met Éireann says snowfalls in some parts will be followed by further snow and temperatures close to zero overnight.

    Ulster, the midlands and north Leinster have borne the brunt of the rain, sleet and snowfalls.

    Treacherous road conditions

    Road conditions in the midlands have deteriorated after heavy showers of sleet throughout the afternoon.

    Gardaí have warned motorists to take extreme care as there is flooding on sections of the M6 and M4 motorway.

    There have been a number of minor accidents and heavy sleet is making driving conditions dangerous with poor visibility reported in parts of Offaly and Westmeath.

    Roads in the Mullingar area are being monitored by Westmeath County Council employees. While the main roads are currently passable, council gritting teams are on standby in case of any further deterioration in the weather.

    The temperatures also dropped to -1C in some parts of the midlands. Road conditions in Donegal and Wicklow are also poor.

    Following heavy snow and rain in Northern Ireland, the PSNI is describing roads there as treacherous particularly those in north and west Ulster.

    There are reports of heavy snow in the Omagh and Dromore areas of Co Tyrone, on the Glenshane Pass between Derry and Dungiven and in the Maghera area near the Sperrin Mountains.

    There is also a warning that heavy rain could cause flooding in some areas.
