It calls on Minister Ryan to intervene and restore the 20-X20 Expressway route, which was withdrawn last month by Bus Eireann as it was not commercially viable.

It serviced a number of towns and villages between Galway and Dublin including Craughwell, Loughrea, Aughrim and Ballinasloe.
Bus Eireann has previously stated the service was not State-subsidised and the decision was taken to ensure other Expressway services could remain viable and operational.
