Irish Citylink Closes Cork – Galway Route
Irish Citylink Coaches will cease to operate the Cork – Galway via Limerick route with effect from 3rd November, 2008. In a letter to the Department of Transport, Citylink cited difficulties it encountered competing with state-owned Company on this route.
The decision was a difficult but necessary one. Citylink had invested €3.5m on new coaches in early 2007 as an extension to its Dublin – Galway service, however, it has suffered continuous losses for 18 months.
The decision by the Office of the Revenue Commissioners to cease repayment of Mineral Oil Tax on diesel used in providing bus services with effect 31st October, 2008 was also taken into consideration for the closure.
Irish Citylink will continue to operate and expand its network of services on Galway to Dublin Airport and Dublin City, Galway to Shannon Airport, and Galway to Clifden.
