Lift needed for Dublin commute from Carrick or Blayney

    Hi

    Was wondering if anyone doing a Mon-Fri commute to Dublin could offer a lift? I would need to be in the city centre or near to a Luas red line stop for about 8:30. I could be collected at either Carrick or Blayney. I would consider just a few days per week as well as the full Mon-Fri also.

    Will share expenses/fuel obviously too! :)

    If anyone is interested maybe you could PM me

    Thanks

    No takers then? :D

    Maybe looks a little odd I suppose - first post and all but to be honest I'm not a forum person generally. Just thought with the popularity of boards it would be a good place to ask.

    Maybe instead could anyone suggest the best way to go about arranging some sort of liftshare? There are a few dedicated sites for this alright but they don't seem to be used that much.

    Would appreciate any pointers anyway. :)

    Thanks

    Maybe if you put a note in the local paper, or in a shop or something like that in Carrick or Blaney you might get more replies. Does a bus not go from there at all to Dublin?

    Might be better to rent a bedsit or houseshare in Dub for the days you are there.

    Yes a few - but not that reliable and timing not great.

    So, still looking for a lift if anyone wants to save on their weekly commuting costs.

    Thanks - but 6:15?? It's a bit early really.

    Driving, you could be leaving over an hour later, that's the thing.

    Sorry for bumping, have lost the new thread icon :mad:

    Looking for a lift to Dunleer in Louth this Sunday with my dog. She has to go to hydrotherapy. Travelling from Bluebell.

    It's 50 miles there, session lasts about 15 mins.

    Appreciate any quotes.

    PS she is very quiet and clean, will just sit on her bed for the journey. I can also cover the back seat.

    Cheers
