I just drove Dun Laoghaire to Dublin City in record time, 40 mins early for an appointment. Am I missing something? #BusStrike.

We should all just go on strike if a luas driver is worth 40k a year, we will use that as a benchmark #Ireland #luas #BusStrike

The train is jammed. Put out regulars mingle with glum faced bus exiles. 'Mingle' as in pressed together like reluctant sardines. #BusStrike
