Petition of 1000 signatures handed in to Bus Eireann over city routes cancellation

Galway Bay fm newsroom – A petition containing a thousand signatures has been handed in to Bus Eireann headquarters in the city against the cancellation of a number of busy city routes.
Services from Westside to Claddagh, Scoil Einde to Seacrest and Claddagh to Westside via Salthill were cancelled a few weeks ago.
Pupils attending Claddagh National School are worst affected by the cancellation and today the School Band led a protest march up to the coach station at Eyre Square.
Protestors are carrying placards with the slogans ‘Make a fuss…Save Claddagh bus’ and ‘Add Claddagh bus to PSO’ and children are chanting ‘save our bus’.
Parents have also joined in, with several local councillors and TDs also part of the march.
School principal Michael Gallagher told our reporter David Nevin that these services must be restored.
