The Transport Minister has confirmed the Nitelink will return next week, subject to the economy re-opening.
Dublin's late night bus service wasn't due to return until November, however there were calls for it's return to coincide with the reopening of nightclubs.
Eamon Ryan says government has yet to make a final decision on restrictions, but they want to be ready to provide a service when the night-time economy re-opens.
Dublin Bus CEO Ray Coyne says it's a positive step forward, and good for business, customers, and the city.

Minister for Transport Eamon Ryan TD says: "The restoration of Nitelink will provide public transport in Dublin on weekend nights into the early hours of the morning. While government still has to make a final decision on reopening after considering public health advice, we want to be ready to provide a service when the night-time economy reopens.”
