    Just get dublin coach to luas red cow. Then change bus for 15-20 min journey to airport. No need to go into the city

    I often get the 1am and the 4am bus. Aurthers Quay can be dodgy at times. Just ask the JJ Kavanagh drivers about all the times they have been robbed at that spot. Quite a few I can tell you.
    4am often messy people staggering about after clubs etc
    1am bus aint bad as there are always people there. Not so with the 4am bus. many times Ive been the only one getting it.
    Cant understand if she has a car why she dont drive?? I would be careful at least and wait at the edge of the path in order for her to be seen.

    The city got its reputation for gang related crime, not random attacks on commuters at 4:00 a.m. :rolleyes:

    Hi,
    My sister has to get a bus from Limerick to Dublin at 4am from Arthur's Quay. She will have to park in Harvey's Quay as that seems to be the nearest car park open at that time of the night (or very early morning, whatever you want to call it).

    Is it safe for her to walk alone at this time of night from the multi-story to where the bus stops? I've heard that some parts of the city have a bad reputation but, does anyone know if this is an okay place for a woman to be walking alone at night?

    I would be grateful for any helpful responses from people that live in the area or have any knowledge of it really.

    Thanks.

    You're worried about your sisters safety so you publish online where and when she will be vulnerable????

    Make sure you tell her what you did, she'll be delighted im sure.

    The OP didnt say what night. It might be tonight, , tomorrow, next week......

    If you read the thread you will also see her sister has made alternative arrangements so your indignation is wasted.

    That. I can never understand why I would get the bus and leave my perfectly good car at home. Unless it broke down and I needed a bus to get to my new car and no one was available to give me a lift.

    Limerick? 4am like. Everyone gone home.
    Galway is a city that you need to worry about for sex attackers. Litany of cases, but hey reputation as party town remains intact. Limerick then is proposed as some kind of no-go zone! I would laugh, but ...

    Do you love Galway, warts and all? I work in Galway, live in Limerick(near enough anyway), and can see the pros and cons of each city. It's only proper order for somebody to defend their city.

    For me I drive for a living. I have to drive to just outside Belfast on Friday morning and It won't take very long. I will pass through Newlands Cross around 6:00am so roadworks there / traffic lights won't affect me. Rush hour won't have begun and on the M1 everybody is heading South whilst it's quiet heading North. I will be back home by 6pm and will hit traffic on the return but so would a bus. There's no bus lane(s) on the A1, M1, N7 or M7 so when you hit traffic you hit it like everybody else.

    Wise words. The two places are only an hour apart (less soon please God) and are actually perfectly complimentary. Moving between gives you best of both worlds.

    Personally speaking I would not walk from Harveys key to arturs key at 4am, especially under sarsfields bridge and around the old dunnes stores. Maybe its just because I'm getting old :-b

    I've often waited for the 4am bus. I wouldn't be concerned in the slightest. The perception of danger in the city centre is far greater than the reality. I'd suggest that you're more at risk in any other Irish city and some of the big towns than you are in Limerick City centre.

    Couldn't agree more...in fact I'm willing to bet that if you somehow managed to get a total of people who have claimed to be hassled or assaulted in Limerick City you would get the exact same total of people who claim to have been in Thomond Park the day Munster beat the All Blacks!!!

    You would take precautions in any city at late hours of the night but as i said before i have had more trouble with drug addicts and undesirables hassling me for money in Cork and Dublin than in Limerick.I wouldn't describe myself as a tough looking person but thankfully i have walked around the centre of Limerick at all hours of the day and night without having any problems.Limerick is no more dangerous than any other urban area.In fact i would go further and say that it's safer than the other major urban areas in Ireland going from my own experience.

    Well the smart thing would be to take the main route and go up Bedford row to o connell street and on to Patrick Street then.
