Bus Éireann launches 'Keeping Ireland Connected' campaign

Bus Éireann has launched a 'Keeping Ireland Connected' campaign that will focus on sharing a positive message across the country and in communities around Ireland.

Eleanor Farrell, chief commercial officer of Bus Éireann, explained: “We are extremely proud to announce our Keeping Ireland Connected campaign, which celebrates the huge commitment the Bus Éireann team has shown over the course of the last few months.

“We have continued to operate throughout the Covid-19 crisis, ensuring our services remained available for frontline and healthcare workers across Ireland making those essential journeys.

“Bus Éireann PSO services returned to a standard Monday to Friday frequency last week and we are now encouraging our passengers to play their part in protecting themselves and our drivers as we keep them connected to who and what matters to them.”

Bus Éireann have over 200 employees across the north west, with depots in Letterkenny, Stranorlar, Ballina and Sligo.

Brian Connolly, regional operations manager for the west, said: “This campaign celebrates all of my wonderful colleagues in Bus Éireann, particularly those on the frontline in Donegal, Mayo and Sligo whose dedication and commitment ensures that we continue operating over 330 trips every day across these three counties. These crucial Bus Éireann services ensure that essential workers can make trips to and from work on a reliable, clean and safe means of transport.”
