Following criticism of the previous bus service between Sligo University Hospital and University Hospital Galway, it has been confirmed that a new service will now operate the route.

The upgraded bus will provide wheelchair accessibility and on-board toilet facilities, ensuring a more comfortable journey for patients.

The new bus service will run for five days a week.

Speaking to Ocean Fm News, Sligo/Leitrim Fine Gael TD Frank Feighan said that he's delighted that there is finally good news surrounding the bus.
