There are calls for more bus shelters in West Clare.

Alan Morrissey spoke with the Quilty Fianna Fáil councillor, Michael Shannon about calls for the erection of more bus shelters in the west of the county.

A spokesperson for Clare County Council said:

“West Clare Municipal District has recently met TFI Local Link and discussed the provision of additional bus stop shelters and bus stop poles in West Clare. The provision of a bus stop shelter could be accommodated by the Section 38 process, but as was evidenced by the discontinued low-cost safety scheme in Kilmihil last year, buy-in from residents is also important.

In addition, please note that West Clare Municipal District and Clare County Council’s Road Design Section are continuing to work with TFI Local Link on progressing locations for poles and shelters throughout the Kilrush Local Electoral Area. Further progress on agreeing a programme of works on this is expected early in 2026.”
