Date Published: 30-Oct-2009
An investigation is being called for into competition between two bus companies operating a direct service between Galway and Dublin.
Senator Terry Leydon has called on Minister for Transport, Noel Dempsey to initiate the investigation.
The Department of Transport ordered that Citylink stop operating a direct service between Galway and Dublin after a complaint by rival company, GoBus.
The Department says Citylink is operating outside its licence, but the bus company is disputing this and has refused to stop the service.
Speaking in the Seanad, Senator Leydon said Citylink buses should be seized pending an investigation by the Department.

A date will be set next October for the trial of a 52-year old Connemara man, who is charged with assaulting traditional Irish musician Noel Hill five years ago.
Michael Folan from Teach Mór, Lettermullen, is charged with intentionally or recklessly causing serious harm to Noel Hill at Tí Padraig Mairtín Beag in Leitir Mór, on St Stephen’s Day, 2008.
The matter had been listed for trial on several occasions before Galway Circuit Criminal Court in the intervening period.
It was referred to the High Court in Dublin last year for judicial review after Michael Folan said he wanted his trial heard ‘as Gaeilge’and that a bi-lingual jury be made available to hear the case.
At Galway Circuit Criminal Court, Judge Rory McCabe adjourned the case for mention to October when it’s expected a date will be set for trial.
