Eirebus seeks planning retention for Dublin depot staff accommodation
Wednesday 5 August 2026
Swords Express operator Eirebus is seeking to retain staff accommodation units at its Dublin depot, citing a severe shortage in the local rental market.
Eirebus is seeking planning permission to retain staff accommodation units at its Dublin depot due to a severe shortage of rental housing.
The transport company, which operates the Swords Express service, has applied to keep the existing staff accommodation units situated at its Dublin depot. According to the company's planning agent, the Irish rental market is currently incapable of meeting the demand for housing.
The agent stated that there is a severe shortage of suitable accommodation options for employees. This deficit has led the company to seek permission to maintain on-site residential units for its workforce as a direct response to local housing supply pressures.
