Not a chance. More 115s are the best hope

Maybe if the 66 had been the selected route to use the Chapelizod bypass, but Dublin bus chose the much shorter 25a and b routes instead. The 66 as it stands would be torturous.

Downside to the BE routes is there is very little local connectivity, bypassing major local employers like Intel.
