			<description><![CDATA[ It seems that Aircoach have been granted a licence to operate a Dublin airport to Dalkey service. Now, what will that mean for the illegally run Patton Flyer,
will Aircoach try buy this service and mini coaches? Will Aircoach operate this as a new service? I cant see the setras getting around Dalkey without struggle. ]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[ I spotted 07-D-78800, a grey VDL DAF parked outside the church along Kildare Road in Drimnagh this morning.
<br>
Also, I spotted a MAN, a smallish coach, which was white. The reg was 06-KY-1681. I saw this in Bluebell this evening.
<br>
<br>
Does anybody know who owns both of these? Thanks. ]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[ Established in Drogheda since 1974, this family run business still runs a small fleet of Plaxton Paramount bodied Bedfords, possibly the last operator in
Ireland to use Bedfords. They also have had the distinction of also possibly running the last Bedford SB coach (in 1984) and the last Duple Dominant I bodied
Bedford YRT (in 2003). ]]></description>

includes a photo of a blue painted Irizar 34 seat 2004 Scania coach, similar to the Bus Eireann SR class. Their website lists it as reg no 04 D 28759. Was this
from the Aircoach fleet, or one of their contractors? ]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[ Is anyone here involved in any way with this event?  I came across an ad for it in the UK Bus &amp; Coach webmag.
<br>
<br>
When I access the website I only see about half of the page content (I use Firefox on an iMac), and there isn&#39;t much info.
<br>
<br>
Is it worth the trip up to Naas?
<br>
<br>
Why is &quot;entry free&quot; in italics (as though there&#39;s a catch?)
<br>
<br>
Do I just turn up or do I need a ticket in advance?

It is a Scania Irizar bus, and i know it is one of the leased SI class buses that Bus Eireann had leased from 2000 - 2003. Does anyone know (a) Who owns this
vehicle now; and (b), what SI is it? I think it is SI64 but i am not 100% certain on that. I seen ex Dundalk based Bus Eireann SI63 a few months ago (also seen

a few other private buses. One was that yellow bus which looks like the BS school buses, I forget the name of it but it has been talked about here a few times.
Sorry for lack of info.
