BUS SHELTERS at existing stops in Cratloe are to be requested from the National Transport Authority (NTA).

Clare County Councilโ€™s road design office are to make the plea as part of their Bus Shelter Programme that will be circulated to the NTA.

It follows a proposal from Cllr Pat Oโ€™Gorman (FF) before the Shannon Municipal District asking that the present bus stops on either side of the dual carriageway at Setights Cross be equipped with shelters.

Speaking at a recent Shannon MD meeting, Cllr Oโ€™Gorman commented, โ€œIt is an awful thing to pass and see children getting ready to go to school in Limerick and they are getting soaked waiting for the busโ€. He remarked of the shelters, โ€œI hope when they are put in that they are lit upโ€.

His bid was supported by both Cllr PJ Ryan (IND) and Cllr John Crowe (FG).
