Irish Citylink is an Irish transport provider and subsidiary of Singaporean company ComfortDelGro, which provides bus services between some of Ireland's major cities and towns. The company is headquartered in Galway City and maintains a ticket office and waiting room in Dublin City. As of March 2026, the company operates on 9 routes including 6 that serve Dublin Airport.
History
Irish Citylink was founded in 2003. In 2010, Citylink contracted the running of its bus services to Callinan Coaches while remaining in control of sales and marketing of its routes.[1]
In 2022, Citylink announced the acquisition of Galway based carrier GoBus, bringing their daily departures to over 100 direct, express, and multi-stop services. In 2024, the GoBus and Eireagle brands were discontinued and liveries and uniforms were brought in-line with the overall Citylink brand[2]. All former GoBus as well as Eireagle vehicles have now received Citylink branding.

Irish Citylink serves Dublin Airport from 6 routes including Galway, Cork, Limerick, Athlone, and Castlebar. These services drop-off at Terminals 1 and 2. Services departing Dublin Airport depart from branded bus shelters at Zones 10 and 11 at Dublin Airport Terminal 1.[3]
