No point in pre-booking.. you never know if it will show up at all
Be extremely careful when boarding one of their buses – their drivers are unprofessional, and their customer service is non-existent! The worst service I have encountered in years!
Why give people false hope with prebooking. They never come on time. And people left there waiting hours. And the complaint team doesn't acknowledge the emails.
The IFA Live Animal Crib returns to the Mansion House!
This long-standing tradition brings the magic of the Christmas nativity scene to the heart of Dublin City. It is open daily from 11am to 5pm until Christmas Eve when it will close at 1pm.
The Crib, is a life size stable containing sheep, donkey and goat which are provided and cared for by the Irish Farmers’ Association.
The animals are brought in each morning and returned to a farm on the outskirts of the city each evening.
Why not leave the car at home and take the Big Green Bus to Dublin City Centre. Remember 2 kids travel free with every paying adult.
