History
editIn 2010, Citylink contracted the running of its bus services to Callinan Coaches while remaining in control of sales and marketing of its routes.[1]
From midnight on the 30 March 2020 Citylink cancelled all its Irish bus services indefinitely as a response to the COVID-19 pandemic.[2] Services resumed on 31 July 2020 with buses operating at reduced capacity in line with National Transport Authority guidelines.
As of 2022, Citylink was back operating at full capacity in-line with Government regulations and the end of the lockdown periods in Ireland.
