    The 236 still runs but only 3 times a day in either direction. It's due to move to Go-Ahead in January so it may get an increased frequency.

    That would definitely be a welcome development.

    Still very disappointed the 40e bypasses a lot of Finglas South.

    Here's hoping Go Ahead also run a bus through Finglas into Cabra to access the LUAS at some point in the future.

    I think it would benefit all for the 238 to be extended to damastown and merged with 236. Would cover all areas the 236 covers. More buses to increase frequency and extra services for blanch centre damastown etc

    That sounds logical alright but if the NTA but if they did you would probably the local PBP TD or councillor sprouting nonsense like "it's a bleedin disgrace this English profiteering company trying to cut our buses d'elderly will be d'ones to suffer" even though a change like that would be done by the NTA and not Go-Ahead. They campaign to save "vital community services" despite the fact nobody uses them and their highly infrequent.

    Aye, I thought it might have gone down Wellmount, Tesco then Tolka Valley to Cabra.

    I got the Luas to Broombridge and walked to my folks house in Finglas South. Didn't take that long and not having to deal with the Whitworth Rd was a blessing.

    It wouldn’t be ireland without a politician there to take credit for the opening of an envelope


    Stop rewarding them at the ballot boxes for going to the opening of an envelope, and start rewarding them for actual policy proposals and doing the actual job they are meant to do in the Dail, and tell them at the door you want them to do the actual job not turn up to the cutting of a ribbon or the opening of a curtain in front of a plaque.


    At the moment, if you don't go to the opening of an envelope, and you just do your job as a minister or TD or both, your constituents will say they "never see him/her around" and you will loose re-election.
    They all know this. It's that easy. If you make it LOOK like you are doing things you get back in, if you ACTUALLY do things you get punished because voters are not taking a close enough interest to see what you are doing unless it's done right in front of their noses.


    There are two sides to this problem: 5050, voters and politicos are equally to blame.

    It'll be a pointless route for many if it went around the world, like the original 40D route did. By the time it got to the Luas you'd have been better off just getting the 40D into the city, unless you lived pretty much near the end of the route.

    Yeah, fair point. Hopefully it does lead to more feeder buses.

    Here's hoping the 39A changes come soon.

    Ridiculous that at 8.30pm at night and there's no room on buses. Same thing this evening. Happening on a weekly basis now.

    After the next round of routes move over to GAI probably on the 20th January likely. I'd say they'd have to push one of the less frequent routes out of the depot into Conygham Road or Harristown the 67 or the 70 perhaps as Phibsoboro dosen't have routes going to GAI.
