No problem. There is a lot proposed/ happening at present and its hard to remember what is what! The National Transport Authority have issued a number of proposals for bus improvements at a National Level. Ireland is a lot more rural than the UK and rural bus services vary a lot in quality. A big change over the last ten years has been the development of Local Link services. Initially these were based on the idea of Ford Transits serving small villages and isolated services but these have expanded to much bigger operations. Anyway for those interested, this is the consultation info that the NTA have provided, the maps are useful to see what is currently there:

Next up, is the proposed network for Cork City under Bus connects, lots of new routes and a very confusing numbering system. Info here:

And finally, Bus Connects Spine C for Dublin will start on the 28th of November. Unlike the first Corridor, the H, this one will be more radical with significant changes and 24 hour services to West Dublin and East Kildare. This will be interesting!
