Bus Éireann is being urged to address safety concerns from its bus drivers over the positioning of a new bus stop near to the Beechfield Junction on the northside of Fermoy.
The relocation of the bus stop/shelter in the area is part of upgrade works to the junction which is to be signalised. However, the design for the new bus stop has given rise to concerns over passenger and pedestrian safety from Bus Éireann drivers.
