Description
Private bus company, Go Ahead Ireland, is to create 450 new jobs, when it opens a new bus depot in north Dublin in October 2025.
The new depot will have capacity for 187 buses and will see “the company’s turnover increase by approximately €50m, an increase of 175 vehicles and an additional 500 drivers,” the firm said.
The new roles will include bus drivers, along with engineers, cleaners and office staff.
Go Ahead recently signed a letter of intent with the National Transport Authority (NTA) to operate services in the outer Dublin metropolitan area. The depot will operate on a 24/7 basis in line with the National Transport Authority (NTA) plans for the roll-out of more 24-hour bus services.
