Citylink Confirms the Department of Transport Has Not Withdrawn Galway to Dublin License
Citylink, one of Ireland’s premier passenger transport companies, will continue to run its direct and multi-stop services, between Galway and Dublin, despite correspondence from the Department of Transport informing the company that it will not renew its current licences until it stops running its direct service between the two cities.
Citylink, who has consistently refuted the claims made, by the Department of Transport, that they have been operating an unlicensed direct service on the route, insist that the services are being operated legally under its current license.
And the company are keen to reassure passengers that services will operate as usual until the matter is resolved.
Mark Bushell spokesman for Citylink said:
“I can confirm that the Department of Transport has not withdrawn our licence on this route. They are simply saying that they will not renew them until this matter is resolved, and we are confident that this will happen in the very near future.”
Bushell confirmed that the company has received a letter from the Department of Transport relating to its Galway to Dublin/Dublin Airport route and believes that the correspondence is as a direct result of outstanding and ongoing allegations, made by competitors, which the company continues to refute.
And Bushell wants passengers to get on board Citylink services safe in the knowledge that the Department of Transport’s communication does not, in any way, affect the insurance of passengers and vehicles.
“The way in which we contract our vehicles means that every passenger and vehicle is fully insured. Any detractors who suggest otherwise are being purposely malicious in an attempt to damage a reputable company in a competitive industry.”
