Campaign Update
A lively protest and lobby was held outside Catherine Byrne’s constituency office on Monday last drawing attention to the cutting of the Number 19 bus service on 12th June next.
‘Save the 19 Bus’ campaign was set up stop the cutback to this vital service which brings residents of Bulfin Estate and Rialto along the South Circular Road and Camden St for schools (Griffith Barracks and Synge St), doctors, shopping and the Eye and Ear Hospital.
The campaign group asked the Government T.D. to sign up to the campaign but she was unwilling to do this. ‘We are determined to fight this cutback, one of many which this new government is imposing’, said Tina MacVeigh, spokesperson for the Save the 19 Bus campaign. ‘Many older residents depend on this service and it is a vital link from the southside to the northside. Bus cuts across the city are hitting the most vulnerable and we are determined to save our bus service’.
