THERE WERE JUBILANT scenes as a syndicate of Dublin Bus drivers collected their winnings this afternoon.

The 22 drivers scooped €23.8 million in last week’s draw, landing them each with a nice little lump sum.

Although not all drivers have gone public, two spoke to reporters about their big win – and how, except for one who has already retired, they’re all going back to work.

    An Garda should be routing out these Dublin based crims rather than trying to besmirch Sinn Fein. These shootings have been going on for far too long.
    Just offer E5000 for information leading to the arrest & conviction of those with illegal firearms and make it a mandatory 5 year jail for the offenders.

    IMO, a million Euros would clear the city of illegal firearms and put a few hundred behind bars for 5 years.

    At present it’s costing multiples of this per year passively policing these crims.

    @Moorooka Mick: all you Sinn Fein members should don your finest military attire and goose step around Clondalkin and Coolock to keep the local community safe.
