    Why do people feel obliged to stay in jobs they are not happy in? No one is born a driver, if you don't like it get a different job

    What if a Luas and a Dublin Bus had a race on a straight stretch of road and track, winners get the raise?

    We'll soon see nurses marrying LUAS and bus drivers, as the Guards fall down the pay scale. Where are the firemen in all this?

    In fairness, the bus driver probably spent 5 years down the pub getting to be a know-all.

    The teacher and Garda have pensions when they retire, they are worth a good 30% plus on top of their salary.
