Delighted that Dublin Bus has confirmed that the Nitelink service will return from January 28th. I called for the Nitelink to return as it is an important service to workers and anyone looking for a low-cost option to get home safe. Thanks to Dublin Bus for their great services.

👉 I asked the Council to remove the redundant electric power point at the 17 shops on the Cabra Road. The power point was originally in place to power a mobile library that used to be parked there before Cabra library was built many years ago. The less clutter the better!

Cancelling Dublin Bus Nitelink services is the wrong route to take. The Nitelink isn’t just about clubbers and drinkers. It accommodates those working late night or early morning shifts, frontline workers, students working weekends who can’t afford taxis home and anyone else.
