A new bus service has been introduced for the #Parkmore area in #Galway, #Ireland, following the completion of the Parkmore Road Bus Priority Scheme. The project has extended the 409 bus route into Parkmore Business Park West, reducing bus journey times with the addition of a new bus lane on Parkmore Road. New bus stops have been created at Medtronic and Celestica. The scheme aims to encourage a shift from private cars to public #transport. Supported by the National Transport Authority (NTA), IDA, and local businesses, the service launched on March 9, 2025.

This initiative, led by Galway City Council and funded by the NTA, also includes upgraded footpaths, signalised crossings, and improved safety measures. The project is expected to ease congestion, improve air quality, and benefit the 10,000 people working in Parkmore. Future plans include a permanent turning circle and further upgrades as part of the Galway Bus Network Redesign.

The image depicts a sunny street scene featuring a double-decker bus stopped at a bus stop. The bus is predominantly yellow with green accents and has a digital sign displaying the route number "409" along with some text. A group of people, consisting of men and women in business attire, stand beside the bus, waving at the camera. In the background, there are modern buildings with signage, including one labelled "AtkinsRealis" and another for "SPAR." Residential houses with well-maintained bushes and lawns line the road on the left. There is also a pedestrian path and a bus shelter with advertisement posters to the right. The sky is clear and blue, indicating a bright day.

"British authorities regarded #Ireland’s misfortunes as evidence of the country’s incurable and willful medievalism [...] But as Scanlan is at pains to point out, the famine was in fact the result of forces within high #capitalism that were entirely modern [...] 'an unintended consequence of the increasing integration of global commerce.' "

Minister for Transport Darragh O’Brien has announced the M28 #Cork to #Ringaskiddy Road Project in #Ireland, approved by Cabinet and progressing to construction. The 11km motorway will improve access to the Port of Cork, replace the outdated N28, and enhance safety. It will also reduce congestion, improve air quality, and facilitate the redevelopment of #Tivoli Docks for residential and commercial use. The €456 million project will take up to three years to complete and includes active travel elements to encourage walking and cycling. The scheme aims to improve journey times for commuters and road safety, with positive impacts on the local community and businesses.
