These cold mornings have been testing.  From shivering as you wait for the shower to heat up, to the treks in and out from the car with the kettle in an attempt to de-ice, it can be very tempting to throw in the towel and get back under the duvet. However, for the poor soldiers who depend on the Luas to get to work everyday, their morning is probably worse than yours. Yep, the second 48-hour Luas strike has officially kicked off this morning. We feel most sorry for the folks who STILL haven't copped that there's a strike and are looking at their watches at the Luas stop. Look alive, people.

I'm very surprised this week to see people are STILL waiting at #Luas stops for the tram. Have they not heard by now?? #LuasStrike

Commuter disruption as @Luas strike begins week 2. Commuters say it's "unacceptable" and workers are on a good wage. pic.twitter.com/P9GMzA2s6C — Seán Dunne (@SeanJDunne) February 18, 2016
