The bus stop, opposite the Landmark Hotel, is covered to shelter people as they wait for a bus to arrive.

Almost three quarters of a million euro is being spent on a new bus stop in Carrick-on-Shannon and other town-improvement works.

The bus stop, opposite the Landmark Hotel, is covered to shelter people as they wait for a bus to arrive.

Leitrim County Council says it is just one element of a much larger project, called the Carrick-on-Shannon Destination Town Project.

External seating and improved landscaping of the area to the rear of this covered structure and the river walk.

"The installation of a new covered bus shelter along Local Road L3401-1 to the front of the Primary Care Building as a bus departure area.
