The National Transport Authority (NTA) has contradicted claims made by Bus Éireann that it needs approval from the NTA to lower fares in Cork. Angry county councillors are seeking clarification from both parties after they contradicted each other within a matter of days. He said Bus Éireann was offering a promotional fare on the Dungarvan-Cork route, which it was allowed to do. She told Mr MacSherry that pricing on the Cork- Dungarvan route was “exclusively” up to Bus Éireann. Councillors decided to write to both Bus Éireann and the NTA to seek further clarification on the matter.
