Alan Morrissey spoke to Ashley on Friday's Morning Focus to find out more. Statement from Dublin Coach: “On behalf of The Green Bus we understand that there have been issues regarding times, but we are operating 100% services and unfortunately, we are at the mercy of the heavy traffic in Limerick and of course the heavy traffic on the M7 as this also impacts services coming from Dublin at peak times. The peak times in limerick being 15.30-18.00 Monday to Friday are difficult in the city with school's colleges and workers finishing during these periods. However, we are not able to change this and as we have a live tracker on our website people can see in real time where the bus located. Overall, we will continue to rebuild the business and services and want to take the opportunity to thank everyone in Ennis for supporting us as it means a lot to us and will continue to work hard for our passengers" Photo (c) dublincoach.ie

Speaking after a presentation to Killaloe Municipal District, Waterways Ireland Western Regional Manager Brian Treacy says locals will have the opportunity to make contributions before any section goes to planning.

What a wonderful show we have for you this week! From the Pacific Northwest comes Haley Heynderickx, a genuinely unique and authentic singer-songwriter who promotes slow art as an alternative to our fast-paced modern life. And from Austin, Texas comes Matt The Electrician, yet another authentic singer-songwriter who shares not only his music but also his love of baseball. Also, Nick has an entertaining chat with historian and author, Professor Patricia Limerick about a handful of interesting topics.   That's all this week on eTown!    Visit our Youtube Channel to see artist interviews, live recordings, studio sessions, and more!
