It's after news that reductions for commuters from Newbridge and Kildare Town have been delayed until next year.

A protest is scheduled at Newbridge Train Station tonight from 6pm.

It is organised by the "Extend the Short Hop Zone Newbridge" group, representing commuters from Newbridge and surrounding areas.

It's after news that reductions for commuters from Newbridge and Kildare Town have been delayed until next year.

The fare reductions were part of the initial phase of the National Transport Authority’s (NTA’s) National Fare Strategy.

However, the new system is now pushed back to the first quarter of 2025 due to "significant technical challenges".
