Informed sources said that while all Expressway routes were under review, a number of services in particular were being examinedA review is under way of the viability of Expressway routes operated by the State-owned transport company Bus Éireann. The Expressway services are run on a fully commercial basis by the company and do not receive financial support from the exchequer. Informed sources said that while all Expressway routes were under review, a number of services in particular were being examined. In September 2020, Bus Éireann announced it was to discontinue Expressway services between Dublin and Cork, Galway and Limerick. At the time, trade unions argued that private-sector rivals frequently operated on a point-to-point basis from city to city along the motorway network while the Bus Éireann services often served towns in between.
