Financially it should not matter, it's a public service that should service the public. If it was a private company then fair enough but it aint.
Good job you all did over the last year.
Rubbishnormal working day for most people

Yea, same with the police, healthcare professionals, nurses, Fire Brigade personnel etc.How dare those bus drivers want to spend christmas day/new years eve etc with their families?
What does bug me, however, is Dublin Bus's tendency to not provide the expected service on the other days around Christmas. A couple of years ago, my DH waited in vain for over an hour to get the first of 2 buses home from work (for him, being in retail, it was a normal working day). Although the bus service was advertised to run until 9pm, by 6pm the drivers were ending their runs and returning to the garage - passing my husband, who was waiting to catch a bus into the city centre. He eventually gave up and had to take a taxi instead.
As it is the panto season, I have to say 'Oh no it's not'. Having been in my bank branch on Xmas eve morning, it was nothing like a normal working day. It was mince pies and wine and lots of chatting. They closed at lunchtime. Is that your definition of 'normal working day'. Indeed retail and emergency services continue to operate as normal, but most office and manufacturing companies will NOT have a normal working day on Xmas eve.And Complainer, Christmas Eve is a normal working day for most people and it is rubbish to suggest that it is not. Maybe you are one of the fortunate people who doesn't have to work it but banks, pubs, shops, hospitals, etc etc etc were still open.

I limited myself to one, and it was quite nice, thanks.How were the mince pies?
