Major changes to popular Dublin Airport bus route as several stops axed
Major changes have been confirmed for a Dublin Airport bus route with several stops being axed. JJ Kavanagh & Sons have announced they are "streamlining the 717 Clonmel–Dublin service", which connects Kilkenny, Laois and Kildare to Dublin city and the airport. The bus operator said starting next week, the route will serve Kilkenny MacDonagh Station but a number of other stops have been removed. They said: "We are excited to announce that we will be streamlining the 717 Clonmel–Dublin service, a measure that will enhance your travel experience and speed up your journey. "Starting April 7th, 2025, our 717 route will proudly serve Kilkenny MacDonagh Station. This new stop places you right in the heart of Kilkenny’s vibrant city centre while also offering faster, more direct connections to Dublin City and the Airport. "We have also made a number of key route adjustments to ensure our passengers can get from A to B more quickly. While we’ve had to say goodbye to several intermediate stops, we believe these changes will benefit most passengers. With that in mind, the following stops will no longer be served: Naas (Poplar Pharmacy, Post Office) Kilcullen (The Hideout) Athy (The Castle Inn / Woodstock) Ballylynan (The Old Church) Newtown Cross (Opp. R430 Jn) Crettyard (Southbound Bus Stop) Castlecomer (Harringtons Bookmakers) Kilkenny (Newpark Hotel / Glendine Inn) "While we realise these changes may be disruptive to some, these changes will no doubt deliver a faster, more consistent, and altogether more extra-ordinary journey for the vast majority of our passengers."
