TRAFFIC problems again gripped Letterkenny this afternoon, with a local transport operator vowing it was “doing everything we can”.
McGettigan’s Travel was heroically trying to its absolute best – but congestion around the town was causing massive tailbacks at several flashpoints.
The company highlighted motorists’ struggles in Friday traffic by sharing images of areas like the Mountain Top, Kilmacrennan Road, High Road, and Convent Road, which is known locally as the Back Road.
A spokesperson said: “To all parents, guardians, and after-schools, Fridays have become very difficult for us and other coach operators in the area.
“When we leave with secondary school children at 1.15pm, roadwork-related delays push us late for the 2pm collection.
“This then pushes us late for the 3pm collection too. It’s a schedule that ran like clockwork before the Letterkenny roadworks began.
“We’re doing everything we can to get your children to and from school safely, but please expect delays until this is resolved.
“Thank you for your patience and understanding.”
