Ah yes, it was about time they introduced a transport service to regions outside of the Dublin Bus(NightLink) routes. Okay, it may be a little more expensive, but anyone who needs to avail of the service, is probably someone who is having "a few" beers in the city, and will gladly pay the price.

Also, the Bus Eireann buses are alot more comfortable, and not the bone-shakers like the double-deckers.

Hardly fair, especially seeing as there are no more of the Bombardier models around. Yes there are a few newer buses that may have a rattle (especially the odd loose screw in the ceiling), but that does not reflect the typical bus in the Dublin Bus fleet.

could be taking your life into your own hands getting on a bus at that time.then again i live in limerick so that could be a factor in my judgement!

My nitelink (the 27N) is okay, never had any hassle from people. It's a headwreaker listening to drunk people shouting stuff out at the top of their voices though. You always get the one with the phrase which they'll shout out over and over again as well. At least my face is intact getting off the bus.
