    Luckily enough tho this will give her a bit of fame rather than anything negative, fair play to the girl for saving the guys life noone deserves to die like that.

    Wonder how long before the Luas drivers go out on strike for similar treatment.

    I must be getting old. I'd have to want to bang them without the make-up these days as well

    Jesus Christ lads, she saved a life, which is pretty much the peak of what you can do as a human being and the only things we can say are "Hello Nurse" , "Sexy Legend" "Would bang" , Wouldn't bang" ?

    As a guy I can honestly say that it's a grim insight into the male psyche these days.

    Maybe contact people through social media, but just scraping their pictures is a bit much.

    And yet people complain that there's no fun in AH these days...

    Don't overthink it so much.

    Not taking anything away from her but is it really the peak of what you can do as a human?

    If she killed a scumbag, that might be more of a peak.

    Also, and I don't mean to brag, but I was on Blackboard Jungle, which is pretty peaky.

    But fair play to her all the same.

    Actually I think most people were supportive of their recent strike action from what I heard on the radio.

    Don't take this the wrong way however what's the big deal? Her and her colleagues are saving lives every day.

    First they came for the socialists...

    To be fair... the hello nurse catchphrase was popularised by the Animaniacs.

    tenor.gif

    In the animaniacs the nurse is actually a genius with an IQ of 192. She also hates that people value her more for her looks than her intelligence.

    So in this case, a self aware "hello Nurse" is actually apt since the woman is being valued for her looks more than her ability to save lives.

    Although, again, to be fair... It probably wasn't self aware :)

    If this incident impacts your view on that pay dispute, then you don't have a very solid basis to your opinions. Completely irrelevant.

    Well done to her. Im sure the man whose life she saved, and his family and friends are very relieved that she was on the bus, and not some idiots taking pics and vids of him dying.

    MOD NOTE:

    Please do not resort to personal insults to debate a point. Thanks.

    Cant she live the poor devil to recover. She says she wants to visit him but maybe he just wants his family, do you think she wants a photo of herself beside his hospital bed.

    She had her five minutes of fame with Ryan the bore today and thats enough already.

    its not about her, its about the poor man who almost died and the cyclist who managed to jump out of the way of the bus.

    Im bored of this.

    You have a problem with her because she's fairly attractive? Focus on the other characters in this drama and ignore the glamourous heroine? I guess she should have just Rosa Park'd herself at the back of the bus.

    I suppose the big deal is that she got on a bus, presumably to go to work (where her and her colleagues save lives every day), and ended up saving the driver's life. That's quite a big deal.

    Wonder how the Indo, Mirror, and other sites got pictures of the nurse; they must have trawled her social media sites. I would not refuse CPR from her;)

    Obviously Liam, as you would be unonscious you wountn't be in position to refuse CPR.

    If they dont get paid more will they stand by and let people die in front of them instead of using the skills of their job?

    Having basic human compassion and instincts is hardly a metric for being deserving of more money.

    Nor would I. She could resuscitate me any day - especially a day when I was experiencing a catastrophic cardiac incident and required immediate medical intervention.

    Phwoar, the medical qualifications on that.

    Yes, it is a big deal to save someone's life on O'Connell Bridge in Dublin city centre, as opposed to in a hospital ward or theatre, where this is an everyday occurrence. She also brought the bus to a stop, as she obviously recognised the signs of a cardiac attack, so potentially saved more lives. So well done Aoife.
    My point in the OP was just this. But also noted that the news sites took advantage of her looks, and trawled her social media sites to include 3 or 4 photos of her with the news report.
