I just recognise that you have a rather low one..

The only "brown-nosing" going on here is that Dave has now incorporated a eh, AI tool to auto-correct: G-o-w-l to Mowl (you can call me whatever you want, of course)Shameless brown-nosing.
Yet still somehow hilarious.
That junction has been a fuck-up for buses and the terminal for them for decades. Every time I ever passed through it, it was worse than the traffic lights outside Trinity's main gates: a fucking free for all of jaywalkers and idiots walking out into heavy traffic, dodging buses and trucks, like it's a fucking game-show. I've seen idiots bouncing off bonnets on multiple occasions. Not even drunk either, just regular people who are desperate to shop. Mad for it.
Regardless, the entire grid in Dublin is a hopelessly fucked-up fucking mess that could better be solved by a team of sixteen rabid monkeys on crack and Guinness using crayons and an A1 sheet of paper. In fact, the very street I grew up on is a classic reminder of city planning; The street is just under one mile long, it has nothing on but houses, blocks and blocks of houses. It's perfectly straight. It inclines at around five degrees from the west end to the city end. Car thieves loved it. Lived for it. Jammers flying past with multiple cop cars behind them, the cops having as much fun as the car-thieves.
So what did the council do?
The fucking gobshites decided to place ramps every hundred meters.
The result?
Even more stolen cars, more often, more cops, more crashes (one lad from the street robbed a car and drove up and down to impress his mates: he crashed the car into a concrete pole just opposite his Mam's house. His head was severed and rolled out of the car onto the pavement). When we campaigned to have the ramps removed, they refused. Then one day I was out the back garden, heard a screech and a thump, went out to investigate: a robbed car had done a hand-brake turn and lost control, smashing into our garden/garage gates, lifting the pillar and sending it flying through to the opposite side of the garden, caroming into the apple tree and smashing it in half.
We had to rebuild the gates ourselves and got tied up in a court case with the local council to get the money back. Took years, but we got it.
Like everything else you mongs do - it's doomed to failure before you even begin.
Are you claiming it wasn't?Anyway - is your video link claiming it was an immigrant who was driving the bus?
What would your old man think of DEI hiring in Bus Átha Cliath?Are you trying to insinuate it was a hate crime?
Not a huge fan myself but he'll have to doI can't listen to that man talking, I wanna belt him in the neck with an elbow.

Not a huge fan myself but he'll have to do
All I know is that the man who was killed was loved and well known 'to all' in the North Earl Street area.
In all the years he worked there (22) and our family participated in the various social clubs (pitch and putt, golfing, theater, soccer, etc) there wasn't one single person of colour in any of the groups we socialized with. There was one gay man, who was actually married to a woman, and he the only shall we say 'colour' among the entire group.
But then my Father was dead at 45yrs, and that was in the late 1980's.
My closest pal around then was an adopted black kid. He was taken in by a family in Tullamore, so his accent was heavy culchie and he asked me to help him change it. Didn't matter: he walked like a culchie, talked like a culchie, was absolutely fucking hilarious but it was all an act really. He was terribly insecure and used humour to mask his awkwardness, which was why I told him to stop kidding himself and just be who he was.
We're still friends today, and I see him whenever I get home if I can - he always has the best weed in Ireland.
I'm guessing it was him who pointed out that the driver was an immigrant?
Perhaps if you actually answered my question, you wouldn't have to ask me..What difference does it make?
The man's dead - it's not as if they could have resuscitated him if the driver was a culchie or a skanger.

As I said before, I don't think this really applies to you, but if it did it would -This question?
I doubt it would bother him too much. He was a huge Ali fan, which kind of meant that he knew he couldn't be selective about persons of colour just because they were good at what they did while others weren't good for anything at all really. But his pragmatism would've enlightened his choices, he was a union man and knew about diplomacy in tight situations. He was among the union leaders who took CIE out on strike for six weeks back in the 1970's. The army were brought in to cover for the lack of buses in the city.
Then he was also part of the tax demonstration in the later 1970's, which was the single largest ever attendance at any any Irish demonstration in history.
Not too many persons of colour in that one either, so your question is kind of moot: you can't really complain about things that don't exist.
As I said before, I don't think this really applies to you, but if it did it would
I was simply making the point that he was a complex man whose decision-making process wasn't always clear to me at first, but made sense in practice and always showed favourable results. If the situation were tainted by leftist ideology, and if that meant Irish persons would suffer unduly as a result of it, then I think I know which direction he'd have chosen to lean.
We're working class stock - our few privileges were hard-fought, hard-earned, and appreciated all the more because of it.
You must understand: he was from an earlier Ireland than the one you and I know. Born in the 1940's, started work at age eleven, married at nineteen, first kid at age twenty. A bus driver, not a philosopher, not an educated man (in school terms) but highly intelligent and driven in his efforts to be the best he could be for his family first, and his society second. Persons of colour driving buses wouldn't have bothered him: back then we had 'On The Buses' on the BBC, they featured black drivers and conductors, and usually made fun of them because of their colour.
In a sort of Alf Garnet manner.
Remember: the worst criminals in CIE were the Irish staff who did the 'Go-Ahead' system.
They were the same fuckers who almost brought the semi-state to its knees with their pilfering and scamming.
And it was ordinary Irish people who encouraged it, it meant cheaper travel on public transport - and there aren't any black persons to blame for it, Jimmy.
We did that to ourselves.
Do you know what DEI actually is, in reality?Does that answer your question?
And if not - how many questions will it prompt from you?
See?
It isn't always the nig-nogs, now is it?
Do you know what DEI actually is, in reality?
It isn't quite - Okay, we'll employ some "nig-nogs", so
