State-owned transport company Bus Éireann would face a financial impact of more than €20 million on its balance sheet over five years if five routes, under review, were left unchanged, external consultants have advised. The Irish Times reported on Monday that a review was under way on the viability of Expressway routes operated by the company. 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 that it would discontinue Expressway services between Dublin and Cork, Galway, and Limerick.
