    My 21st is on next Thursday and I want to get a bus from Killiney, South Dublin into town at around 1.30 AM for approx 80/90 people. Does anyone have any suggestions as to the best service providers in this field?

    Any help would be greatly appreciated.
    Thanks

    Talk to Dublin Bus, they could possbily give you a dedicated bus or use returning Nitelinks.

    Using private operators probably means getting two coaches.

    Are they all going to one place or do you want to be able to do set-downs along the way?

    Some of the private operators have double deckers.

    Very few operators have buses that can accomadate that many people.

    Dublin Bus, Mortons of Rathfarnham and Finnegans of Bray are the only ones in the area with large capacity double-deckers.

    Even then only Dublin Bus have a vehicle that can seat that over 90 people and I don't know if any of them allow standing passengers on private hires.

    If you have to get two buses then the price will be much higher.

    Ring them up and get quotes, Victor's links give the contact details.

    Much cheaper to get one bus to make two runs.

    thanks for the help lads.
    I got quoted €350 for the Mortons double decker and couldn't get through to Finnegans. No answer from Dublin Bus either. I'll try them both today but it's a bank holiday so don't know if I'll have much joy.

    Jesus, why did I leave this so late. Now to try and find a DJ...:(
