Go-Ahead Ireland can confirm that a number of bus services including the N6, 114, S8, S6 and L26 have recently experienced service frequency issues which have impacted passengers.
These service issues are due to a combination of factors. At a sectoral level, there is currently a shortage of mechanics impacting transport operators nationally. This has meant that buses are taking longer to service, thus reducing the number of active vehicles on the road at certain times. This issue has been further aggravated by seasonal illnesses which has further reduced the current number of active mechanics able to service their fleet at a given time.
Cognisant of their responsibilities to passengers and those communities that they serve, Go-Ahead Ireland have been running a dedicated mechanics recruitment campaign offering a comprehensive and competitive package for candidates. As such, they have experienced an increase in applications for the role of HGV Mechanics since the new year, which will address the current issues and enhance engineering capacity overall.
Apologies to passengers impacted by the recent service issues. Passenger commitment is fundamental to Go-ahead Ireland, as they strive to offer the best possible service to those communities they serve.
