There is a huge deficit in public transport provision in rural Ireland, a report has stated.
According to Social Justice Ireland, the lack of reliable public transport in rural areas means that households are more reliant on their car to access basic services and commute to and from work and school.
Publishing its Social Justice Matters ‘Public Services’ policy brief, it found this reliance is contributing to the country’s carbon footprint, with transport being one of the three main contributing industries.
