Bus Éireann on Santa’s naughty list
Dozens of carol singing bus users donned Santa suits and hats before boarding Cork City’s 214 bus service yesterday in a bid to persuade the company to scrap its ‘grinch-like’ ban.
Campaign organiser and regular 214 user, Togher woman, Anna Marie O’Shea, said they wanted to show support for the route’s long-serving driver, Michael Howick, and others like him, who, before the ban was introduced, used to don a Santa suit and dish out free lollipops to kids using the bus in the run up to Christmas.
