    Route withdrawn in March 2013. Iv used the buslink service at night and found it useful and always on time. I'd imagine a bus eireann service wouldn't get much use since both the train and buslink services runs very regularly, and at normal work start times.

    Because the private sector provided a better service, so people stopped using Bus Éireann.

    And it's madness having two heavily-subsidised services (IR and BÉ) serving the same town.
