    I doubt it.

    An option of sorts that I've used in the past for going to gigs in Dublin is to catch the Rapid Express regular service.

    The last time I checked it would involve a bit of hanging around in Dublin till maybe 1am getting a bite to eat but she'd at least not have to drive.

    We all know its you who is going to the concert :pac::pac::pac:

    Rapid express would seem best bet but I find that bus torture at the best of times. Long and often full of twats in my experience.

    I would nearly suggest just staying up there if possible. All three could crash somewhere in the city for about 40 each.

    yea, you have to be in the right frame of mind for the bus. Music on the headphones helps in my experience.
    Jurys inns can be haggled with sometimes, I got a room for 4 a few months back for 80 all in. Worked out at 20 per skull to stay in reasonable comfort in Dublin.

    Haven't heard of any buses, and doubt there will be any tbh.

    It's actually painless enough to drive up to the Red Cow, park there and get the Luas to Connolly Station. Probably only 10-15 min walk from there to the O2 Arena then.

    There are two hotels located near the o2, so she could stay overnight cheap. Basically just get train into heuston and a taxi over for less then a tenner and you should be sorted.

    As mentioned, a Luas line is nearly ready and opening soon

    Hi!

    Myself and my friend drove up in May when we were going to see boyzone, we parked in Tallagh and got the Luas to town, and then they have special O2 buses to collect you and drop you back to the Luas...I wouldnt park in Tallagh again though, go to the red cow! It was so handy
