I think the report in the Irish times that Nick is referring to was about this map: http://www.venetikidis.com/aris/Dublin-Transport_MA_files/DublinRapidNetwork_2.jpg It was created by a Masters student in NCAD as part of his degree in design. You can read more about his thesis here: http://www.venetikidis.com/aris/Dublin-Transport_MA.html Unfortunately, for our purposes, the map is aspirational and doesn't show the existing bus network, but shows a proposed new system instead. The maps are very nice indeed, but like the iconic Harry Beck London Underground maps they distort reality in order to make the map as legible as possible.
