Dublin Bus has issued a warning ahead of Monday’s rush-hour commute

It's that time again.

While we love Christmas and all of the festive fun that goes along with it, it seems like we forget we have to buy presents for each other until the very last week. And that's why, as well as commuter traffic, transport services will also be carrying shoppers into the city centre from tomorrow morning. Dublin Bus has issued a warning to ensure everyone gets to their destination on time:
