His name is Paul and he drove from Dublin to Bettystown (via Drogheda) on Feb 28th 2017. I live near Dundalk, and my daughter was on the above mentioned service last night. On arriving in Drogheda she discovered she was on the wrong bus, and was now stranded in Drogheda at night in the dark. Paul was good enough to drive her to Southgate shopping centre where she could wait in safety for me to collect her by car. He also gave her other advice to try to get her home safely. Like all big companies, I&#8217;m sure you get plenty of complaints, but on this occasion its praise all the way for this gentleman. I hope you can identify him, and pass on the genuine appreciation from all my family for his kindness.<br \/><strong class=\"testimonials_author\">Paul &#8211; Matthews Commuter Service<\/strong><\/p><\/div><div class=\"clear\"><\/div><\/div><\/div><div class=\"wpmtst-testimonial testimonial t-slide post-1185\"><div class=\"wpmtst-testimonial-inner testimonial-inner\"><h3 class=\"wpmtst-testimonial-heading testimonial-heading\">Caoimhe Ni Mhuircheartaigh<\/h3><div data-infinite-loop=\"false\" class=\"wpmtst-testimonial-content testimonial-content\"><div class=\"wpmtst-testimonial-image testimonial-image\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" src=\"https:\/\/www.matthews.ie\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/students.jpg\" class=\"attachment-500x500 size-500x500 wp-post-image\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.matthews.ie\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/students.jpg 500w, https:\/\/www.matthews.ie\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/students-300x169.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 500px) 100vw, 500px\" \/><\/div><div class=\"maybe-clear\"><\/div><p><strong class=\"testimonials_quote\">&#8220;<\/strong><br \/>\nI wish to commemorate the driver for the DCU bus MARTIN he is an absolute legend!
