The State-owned bus operator, Dublin Bus, may need to find new sites for its bus garages as existing depots are at full capacity. The Conyngham Road depot is being considered for redevelopment for housing, prompting the search for an alternative. This need for new depots is driven by the BusConnects program, which aims to improve public transport services in Dublin.
State-owned transport company may have to find alternative for its existing garage at Conyngham Road which is being earmarked for potential redevelopment for housing
Mr Murphy said in a report to the Minister that “a replacement for the Conyngham Road depot is currently being progressed with CIÉ Group partially in response to Land Development Authority and Government Housing for All ambitions”.
He said that following the introduction of phase five of the BusConnects network redesign after November 2023, Dublin Bus “had been the main beneficiary of substantial public bus transport growth”. He added a Dublin Bus project team were tracking and managing “key dependencies” such as staff numbers – mechanics and drivers – and available depot space as well as “requirement for business-as-usual capacity increases and timetable fixes and completion of necessary on-street infrastructure, signalling and routing issues”.
