Irish Citylink is an Irish based subsidiary of Singaporean company ComfortDelGro, which provides bus services between some of Ireland's major cities and towns.

History

The company was established by businessman Jim Burke in 1994,[1] but is now owned by ComfortDelGro.

In 2010, CityLink contracted the running of its bus services to Callinan Coaches while remaining in control of sales and marketing of its routes.[2]

Legal prosecution

In April 2010, CityLink were prosecuted for operating an unlicensed bus service between Dublin and Galway when, in addition to their licensed stopping bus service, they introduced a non-stop service between the two cities. While the District Court judge found that the case against the company had been proven to the required degree, she decided to apply the Probation Act.[4]
