Dublin Bus has finally brought an end to months of speculation regarding the fate of former corporate mascot Network Noel, who mysteriously vanished from our screens more than a year ago.

The questioning was tough and relentless…

Of course, this raises as many questions as it does answers

How does he play golf with no arms?
We’ll keep looking into it, and hopefully bring you more details very soon.
