Dublin Bus services are set to fully resume in the west Tallaght area in the coming days in a huge boost for the area.
The services were curtailed back in January due to ongoing issues surrounding anti-social behaviour in the area. It meant that services stopped going along the route through parts of Tallaght at 6pm each evening.
Normal services on routes 27, 56a, 65b, and the 77a through west Tallaght will resume this coming Sunday, April 30. The change has come about following extensive meetings between Dublin Bus, trade unions, local residents, politicians and gardai over the last four months.

In a statement issued yesterday, Dublin Bus said: "Following extensive engagement between Dublin Bus and our trade unions and consultations with local resident representatives, political representatives, and An Garda Síochána, we are pleased to inform our customers that normal services will resume in the West Tallaght community.
"Dublin Bus, the NBRU, and SIPTU believe that the measures implemented through these processes now provide an environment for the resumption of normal services on Routes 27, 56a, 65b, 77a from Sunday, 30 April. Dublin Bus and its representative Trade Unions will continue to work actively with all stakeholders towards providing a safe and reliable transport service for our customers, employees and the communities we serve."
