DB wants to make you go through the whole rigor-marole of writing to the head office at 59 Sráid Uí Chonghaile, Baile Átha Cliath a hAon to get a list of current outer suburban fares.<p>Is an tUasal O Bhrionann aware of this...?? Let me tell you, that title "minister" goes right to the head; maybe they ought to adopt the US equivalent, "secretary"...?<br><br><br clear=all>
