Our driver Richard was very helpful and so pleasant. He was very informative at the start of the journey and because it was a late bus he said he would let us sleep unless there was any changes to traffic or arrival times. A very pleasant and comfortable trip. Would definitely use Eireagle again.

Pre-Christmas chaos. Excellent driver who was friendly and eager to help with luggage. I didn't like getting a last-minute message from the bus company telling me that they had overbooked and tried to put me on a later bus. I presented myself an hour before the original bus was scheduled to leave, and even though I wasn't on the manifest, The bus driver conceded that my ticket was valid. He was also as confused as I was by the €2 surcharge on the ticket.
