Nothing direct that I'm aware of and I don't see anything on http://www.galwaytransport.info/2009/07/city-bus-services.html either. I live in Doughiska and work in the IDA Park in Dangan. That trip by bus involves a 9 to Eyre Square and then a 4W to Dangan (there's supposed to be an 8:05 which would do the job for you). I cycle most of the time instead.

Do you even bother having a shower before heading to work?

We have showers at work luckily enough. Biggest problem is getting the blood flowing to the legs at six in the morning

Well here's a long shot, but just in case it's of any help.. there is a bus service that passes by GMIT and stops at NUIG, leaving about a 20 minute walk to Dangan:

NUIG is not a designated pick up stop, and you'd need to ask about the fare, but it may be of use.

But I also cycle this route, and just to let you know..even with the wind in my face I can do NUIG-Dangan in no more than 15 minutes. Worth thinking about at least...

Hope that helps!
