#DublinBay -  A transport company based in the UK reports The Times, is involved in a planning row over the proposed use of the former ferry terminal in Dún Laoghaire Harbour as a coach park.

Go-Ahead, which recently secured contracts to operate public transport in Ireland, is appealing against a decision made by the local council, which refused the company the use of the former HSS Stena’s vehicle compound in Dún Laoghaire Harbour to park its buses.

The company fought off bids from Dublin Bus and Bus Éireann in tenders held by the National Transport Authority to secure routes around Dublin and Kildare. It now wants to use the disused ferry facility to park up to 20 buses overnight.
