Currently Wexford Bus and Bus Eireann stop bus services at 19.30 and 20.25pm - the next service is not until 1.30am provided by Wexford Bus and is normally already pre-booked full.

Residents in Enniscorthy cannot even go to the evening showing at the Cinema now which the nearest is Wexford Town, unless  they have a car, €50 for a taxi or wait until 1.30am with pre-booking advised.

Anyone who needs to work or attend events that end at 10pm are left stranded without cash to sit in a eatery, pub or grab a taxi.

I personally was left waiting 3hrs on said bus solo, no funds as they simply are not in my account, having to freeze in colder weather and risk standing around alone on a Friday night, eventually entertained by some rather shifty males to which luckily, were chatty rather than aggressive.

The need for a 23.30pm bus service is paramount.

Even if it is a short service providing a 23.30pm route between Wexford Town as far as Ferns.

Even a new local link late bus between Enniscorthy and Wexford Town would suffice.

I am certain I am not alone in that not all own cars, have friends/families willing to taxi them, or have surplus funds for actual taxis.

When Cinema starts at 9pm and last bus is 8.25pm it leaves many isolated or at risk, even the Wexford Arts Centre events end earlier than pub closing leaving folks in the same situation.

I hereby request signatures for this petition.

We NEED a 23.30pm Bus Service.
