For instance, the success in attracting to the city, major employers who are headquartered many time-zones away, serving markets around the world, means that commercial and economic activity in Dublin continues around the clock".<ref>{{citation|url=https://www.dublinbus.ie/News-Centre/Media-Releases-Archive/Media-Releases-2019/Two-bus-routes-in-Dublin-go-24-hours/|title=Two bus routes in Dublin go 24-hours|publisher=Dublin Bus|access-date=2022-02-09|archive-date=9 February 2022|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20220209235853/https://www.dublinbus.ie/News-Centre/Media-Releases-Archive/Media-Releases-2019/Two-bus-routes-in-Dublin-go-24-hours/|url-status=live}}</ref> In June 2022, chief executive of Dublin Bus Ray Coyne told 'Breakfast Business' on [[Newstalk]] radio that of the six 24-hour services the company was currently running, route number 15 was "probably the most successful one".<ref name = Jquann>{{Cite web|last=Quann|first=Jack|date=2022-06-09|title=Dublin Bus planning 24-hour services 'throughout the network'|url=https://www.newstalk.com/news/dublin-bus-planning-24-hour-services-throughout-the-network-1352898|access-date=2022-08-14|website=[[Newstalk]]|language=en}}</ref> He added "We're looking to see if we can increase the frequency on those (six 24-hour services)... the demand is extremely high".<ref name = Jquann/> Commenting on the 24-hour services in Sep 2022, Gary Kelly, Chief Inspector with Dublin Bus explained how they were a "huge success" witnessing a "a big demand". He explained "The 41 from [[Abbey Street]] to [[Swords, County Dublin|Swords]] will often be full at 4am in the morning with workers on their way to [[Dublin Airport]] and revellers heading home to Swords [..] That one was badly needed over the years.
