Kerry TD Danny Healy-Rae has now sent 100 buses to Belfast for people to get cataract procedures done.
Deputy Healy-Rae, along with Cork South-West TD Michael Collins, have run the bus service to Kingsbridge Hospital in Belfast since 2017 due to long waiting lists in the Republic for the procedure.
The service was unable to operate for a spell due to COVID-19, but returned at reduced capacity in August 2020.
The Independent TD highlighted the importance of the service.
