Recently, we set up this Facebook group in response to the rumours surrounding the future of the popular and essential Dublin Bus Nitelink service.

Earlier today there was an interesting comment left by Labour Cllr. Cian O’Callaghan which thankfully answered a few questions, yet created a few more:

I got confirmation from Ray Coyne of Dublin Bus last Friday that Dublin Bus are not planning to discontinue the nitelinks. However they are planning to reduce the service and are looking at merging some routes and possibly reducing the frequency of service!

I would. Distributed yesterday at the top of Grafton Street by members of the Shell to Sea campaign, the €540 billion euro note is creating quite a stir. I’ve about ten in my wallet, which makes me feel rich.

"Gis them sweets young fella."

Captain Moonlight’s excellent ode to the Fianna Fail candidate deserves a look. It’s THE Fianna Fail candidate, watch the video. You know this man. He says things like “the old IRA” and “history will be kind to Bertie, even if nobody on your street will.”

Thanks to my mate Chris for directing me to this one, it comes from inside Lansdowne Road when the north got a three goal thumping from Scotland in the Carling No-Real-Point-To-This-Cup Cup. Ireland, Wales, Scotland and the north are playing it out for a silly cup, with telly stations pretending any of it is even half interesting.

There have been all sorts of reports of union jacks outside the GPO and more besides, but this video gives an idea of the kind of rubbish one can expect more of with the south due to play the north in May as part of this cup. Of course you’d have to expect an element to do the same in reverse if the silly cup was in Belfast, but the question is could a silly tournament that has failed to even put bums on seats in Lansdowne be enough to kick off some trouble in the capital?

Do a raffle for the thing me thinks.
