O’Loan: Welcome for improved 32 county free travel

Ballymena SDLP councillor Declan O’Loan has welcomed the change to the free travel scheme for pensioners. From now on, people from the north will get free travel not only to the south, but also on further journeys within the south. They will have exactly the same rights as those living in the south of Ireland . The same will apply in reverse to those coming north.

Councillor O’Loan said, “This is good news though it took a long time to come. I hope it will be widely publicised. Those who benefit should get their Senior Citizen SmartPass if they have not already done so.
