Coaches are allowed do 100km/h on dual carriageways and motorways, unless the speed limit is lower. They are only allowed 80km/h on other roads and that is where I've seen them speeding.
From being on them, I've not noticed anything particularly hazardous, although they do tend to do too many lanes changes on the Dublin side of Naas. They are slightly aggressive when taking the M50 exit at the Red Cow, although there are too many cars in the wrong lane (cars from the auxiliary lane on the M50 tend to head for the right hand lane for heading to Newlands Cross).
Buses and coaches are an order of scale safer than cars. And trains are an order of scale safer again.
