The north west region looks set to benefit from additional bus services.
The 458 route from Ballina to Enniskillen looks to finally be enhanced.
This will see an increase to the daily service to eight round trips from Monday to Sunday.
The route will offer an earlier departure time from Sligo at 6.40am and a later departure at 12.23am.
The improved service will offer passengers seven return trips on a Sunday while providing increased connectivity with ATU Sligo.
Local Fine Gael Councillor Dara Mulvey says its a positive development for the west Sligo region:
Meanwhile, Route S2, Strandhill to Rosses Point will offer passengers double the current route frequency.
Thirty one round trips will be provided from Monday to Friday, with twenty nine return trips on a Saturday and twenty six on a Sunday.
The improved service offers expanded hours of operation with earlier departures from Strandhill at 6.00am and later departures at 11.30pm from Monday to Friday.
Both routes, part of the Connecting Ireland Rural Mobility Plan will come into effect on Sunday, 17 December.
