Commuters in Athenry face uncertainty as funding for the 6:50 AM train to Galway and a long-awaited bus service hang in the balance. The National Transport Authority and Iarnród Éireann confirm no funding past August. The early train, popular with fifty daily passengers, has no backup, leaving commuters stranded. Deputy OHara criticizes the government for neglecting Athenrys needs, while TD Albert Dolan advocates for a bus route via Derrydonnell and Oranmore. Minister OBrien assures decisions will be made based on public submissions from an eighteen-month consultation.
