odyssey06 wrote: » Because the weather event hadn't hit yet with full force. The danger zone in Dublin was from 4pm at the earliest. And Dublin Bus is staffed with trained professionals there to provide a service. Council workers were out keeping the main roads clear today - Dublin Bus vehicles should have been on them. They could have run until 1-2 pm allowing time for staff to make it home, that was the time the other public transport services were lined up for.

I'm really surprised that there has been no stories of a run on the offies like Good Friday used to be. Since people are supposed to be on lock down for 24hours I expected there to be queues for crates!
