A new €15m Dublin Bus depot at Broadstone has been officially opened.
The bus company said the new maintenance facility will allow additional capacity and expansion across the Greater Dublin area.
It stated that it is also equipped to handle future vehicle types if required, such as full battery electric vehicles and hydrogen vehicles.
The Broadstone depot dates back to 1850. A number of original features have been retained, such as its cast iron structure and the old overhead gantry cranes.
Dublin Bus also said it has become the first semi-State organisation in Ireland to install swift nesting boxes onto a site.
