Unfortunately all good things must come to an end and judging by the comments of other users on this forum, DF450 is unfortunately at the very end of its service life, and in fairness we should be VERY greatful that it actually managed 38 years in service, outliving amongst others the VanHool Ds, KDs, KCs, KRs, VAs, VWs, MWs, MVs, Ws, VLs and VWMs, and may yet outlive the AW, DPC and DWM/DWR as well in the CIÉ group.
It doesn't make sense to refurbish it for general service only to take it back and do it again and convert it to a Ghost Bus only a few months later, though I don't see any reason why any mechanical repairs can't be done now, possibly the mechanical repairs have been completed.
