That bus is on its way to Sheffield as a demo for First South Yorkshire, will be on it in the not too distant future with a bit of luck
. It's a Wright StreetDeck, so the same bodywork as the Dublin Bus SGs and DMs, and the forthcoming B5TLs for Bus Éireann, but it has a Wrightbus chassis rather than a Volvo one. First are debating whether to buy StreetDecks or B5TLs next year - it is very, very unlikely they will be ordering any more Enviro 400s (which is the only type of decker they've ordered for the past two years in favour of their previous favourite, the B9TL Gemini aka the VWDs or VGs/GTs).
This is a photo of it:

I have no idea why it was in Dublin, though. Wrightbus normally send stuff going to mainland UK to Heysham Port i.e. via Belfast. Perhaps BÉ were taking a quick look at it before it comes to First South Yorkshire?
