    Hi

    need to know how long it would take for the 17A from Finglas to reach the junction of the Malahide Road and Tonlegee Road on its way to Kilbarrack most Mondays, need to get there to connect with the 27 coming from town.

    thanks

    Can take anywhere from 30-60mins depending on traffic. I have been on it many times unfortunately. It can depend on the port tunnel and school holidays etc.

    Yea the 17A is notoriously unreliable. :( I used to do the opposite journey (27 - 17A - 220) and many's the time I was left stranded in Finglas because of a missed connection (or the 220 left early/didn't run in the first place)

    I wouldn't rely on the 17a for anything to be honest, it's a horrible service. I used to have to get it to and from work and it's a bit of a lottery, the old cliche of waiting an hour for a bus and then three coming at once could have been created especially for the 17a.
