Its understood that the National Transport Authority, itself, is awaiting additional funding from Government.
The Kildare South Dublin Local Link bid to expand its service has not won funding from the National Transport Authority.
It applied to the NTA for monies to enable additions to the route from Carlow through Castledermot to include the villages of Ballitore, Narraghmore, Calverstown and Two Mile House into Naas.
Its understood that funding wasn't forthcoming as the NTA is seeking additional monies from government.
Kildare Labour Senator Mark Wall says it's imperative that funding is released, as it would boost connectivity throughout rural south Kildare. "I continue to get reports of people not been able to get on the 880 because of the bus is full. I have written to the NTA and raised the matter with the Minister. This route will make a difference linking our rural villages and ensuring those on the route can avail of job opportunities and have access to social events that are not available to them at the moment. This route needs funding and I will continue to raise its importance at every opportunity."
