    I never said Cobh Connect was - it's actually run by fellow Bernard Kavanagh subsidiary, Barrys Coaches although at least one of the vehicles has legals for Bernard Kavanagh and Sons in Urlingford.

    What I was saying about Eirebus was a Dublin based subsidiary of the Urlingford based Bernard Kavanagh Group just like Barrys is the Cork based subsidiary and both have operated services for GoBe.

    Again incorrect comment regarding relationship between Bernard Kavanagh coaches and Eirebus, They are two completely separate independent companies,Further more Leep technologies to private operators is fully supported and funded by the NTA. Eirebus does not operate or have any part in GoBe operations.

    Bernard Kavanagh co-founded Eirebus, also I know at one point Paddy Kavanagh who was the MD at Eirebus was once also a director at Bernard Kavanagh and Sons.

    All of the Bernard Kavanagh group companies list Eirebus as a partner and if you simply search Google and type in "bernard kavanagh eirebus" there is a lot of places suggesting that there is some kind of link between them.
    Eirebus does not operate or have any part in GoBe operations.

    Yet I've been on GoBe services out of Dublin wearing Eirebus livery with a sticker stuck over the top in the past, but of course it may no longer be the case but it's certainly happened, especially in the early days of GoBe when some runs were done out of Barrys in Cork and others out of Eirebus in Ballycoolin.

    Well if you look up the CRO information you can see a relationship between the companies.

    Patrick Kavangh is currently a director, the secretary and it looks like shareholder of Eirebus.

    He was previously a director at Bernard Kavangh, as was Thomas Kavangh previously a director in both Eirebus and Bernard Kavanagh.

    Maybe not part of the same group, but certainly seem to both be born out of the same family. Perhaps a family split.

    As I previously stateded I have no intention of dissecting any Kavanagh or their Business interests on line, I would however wish everybody at Barry's all the best with their new service.

    If you'd like to correct any inaccurate information you are free to do so, but just saying it is wrong, without offering any context or references to back it up isn't very informative our helpful.

    If you are concerned about privacy you are free to PM us if you prefer.

    Interestingly looking at archive.org, a website that shows what website looked like in the past, we have this great history of how Eire Bus was formed:

    https://web.archive.org/web/20070209074233/http://www.eirebus.ie:80/_content/index.asp?id=63
    Eirebus is part of the Kavanagh Group of Coach and Tour Operators, which includes Bernard Kavanagh & Sons, Barrys Coaches, Matt Kavanagh & Son (Ireland), together with Landtourer Coaches and Edinburgh Coach Lines (England & Scotland).

    I see from this page:
    http://www.bernardkavanaghcoaches.com/partners/

    It says Eirebus Ltd., Edinburgh Coach Lines Ltd. and Grayline (Scotland) Ltd. are all partners. Noting that this three companies are all part of the Eire Bus Group:

    http://www.eirebus.ie/about/the-eirebus-group

    Also this is pretty convincing:
    https://www.facebook.com/Eirebus/photos/br.AbqX-OV3b3v7EXXqNzoMZrUjiTi_qQ-pPt_q1kPEDumZgJDBCliKjQbuAqKulizgD71HRjaLeDdJxtdwe0N50hVHdBIeDHuW41Av4rJk2a4CMr53HETcHUFbOER7KYLB6OY/10153740912864783/?type=1

    Now maybe the relationship has broken down/split since then. But they certainly seem to have a shared history.
