Those A plus centers are a bit laid back compared to the test center on Barrow street. Especially the one in Ballymun north point. Great for getting yer car passed out though.

Not the way it's set up. Heard it's a money racket altogether and that some of their required answers are entirely wrong but if computer says No.....Longford tce that old chestnut.
What about Longford Tce?

Think he means Longford street little...oddly enough I got a job to there today from the Airport to an Air bnb.It's one of the more unusual questions on the test.Even though I've never needed to go there until today.

Funnily enough, I've driven by there several times and said to myself, 'must remember that street name'.  Never do!

Got a job to an Airbnb on Lad Lane a while back, couldn't resist asking what the hourly rent was.
If it doesn't have a roof sign and door stickers it's not a taxi.

Linkedin have brand new offices beside Lad lane now.Busy spot.

I'm wondering if Airbnb is responsible for many of the extra tourists we are seeing in town.Probably explains the apartment shortage too.
