The public transport challenges facing county Donegal have been raised on the floor of the Dáil.

Widespread concerns have been previously expressed over cancellations, limited routes and the absence of a rail service, leaving users, particularly in rural areas, feeling isolated.

100% Redress Party TD Charles Ward has reported abrupt cancellations of Bus Éireann services with little or no warning, citing reduced capacity and other complications affecting the service.

Deputy Ward says the lack of infrastructure is having a number of knock-on effects locally.
