A proposal for a new bus service linking Ballina to Ireland West Airport was unveiled at yesterday’s (Wednesday, February 4) NTA Oireachtas briefing. 

The proposal would see an Airport Shuttle Bus connect with the Route 22 Ballina to Dublin Bus at Charlestown.

Minister Dara Calleary said, “I will be continuing to liaise with the NTA in the coming weeks prior to the proposal being adopted and commenced, and will update accordingly.”

The proposal comes as new resurfacing works began yesterday (Wednesday, February 4) at Ireland West Airport, Knock, as part of its ongoing transformation programme, with upgrades focused on improving parking facilities for passengers with Reduced Mobility (PRM) and Blue Badge holders.
