    I could go on a rant about the crazy Irish bus licencing system where like dogs, a bus company pisses on some territory and suddenly its theirs till the end of time no questions asked.
    But I wont.


    The new bus 111, running 4 times a day from Cavan to Granard currently NOT STOPPING in Ballinagh, from next week WILL STOP in Ballinagh.

    Details of the 4 busses each way from Ballinagh to Cavan:

    (Donnelys prevously owned the route, and despite them having only 1 UNADVERTISED service a day in a crock of a bus, bus eireann couldnt prvide a service to Ballinagh with their 4 busses a day, even though they passed through Ballinagh on their way to Athboy)

    What hasnt improved, according to the timetable, is that the Belfast - Cavan - (Granard) - Galway bus still is not permitted to bring any passengers from Cavan to Granard, nor Granard to Longford, nor does it stop in Ballinagh even if coming from "beyond" the forbidden zone that Donnellys busses controls/ owns!
