I have read the forums on travel in and around Dublin, as well as gone to the individual websites to try to get a grasp of the best in public transport options. I have to say that I am so overwhelmed so perhaps I can obtain suggestions on the best option based on my travel. Will be arriving in Dublin on Sept. 14th and staying one week. I don't 'do' rental car, am travelling alone, staying in Parnell Square area, would like to make a day trip to Belfast, North Ireland(bus or train?), and side trips to Howth and perhaps a few other places. my hotel is across a hop on,hop off stop so figured I would purchase a ticket on day of arrival to get a feel for the different areas. Since I am going to be relying on public transport for the week, what would be the most convenient option? I am not so much concerned with the least expensive option but would rather be able to have several options available where I am not purchasing a separate ticket for this trip, that transfer, etc. Is there a ticket that allows u to have the choice of bus, local tram, etc. all in one price? (such as the oyster card in London).
sorry if these appears to be quite a simpleton question but I just can't figure out the difference in all the options and I have read them ad nauseum.
thank you in advance.
Anyone tried using workaways service? Would like to know if it's good as I'm keen on volunteering in Ireland from July. Thanks!
How do I get from Kinsaley Lane, Malahide TO Lislea, N. Ireland? Thank you!
We are shortly to travel to Dublin and will arrive in the centre soon after 9.00am. The hotel doesn't allow check-in until 3pm and has no facilities for leaving luggage. Anyone know anywhere in the Grafton Street area where luggage can be left for a few hours at reasonable cost?
I will be in Dublin in Sept. and one of my favorite past times is shopping for all things tea and coffee. Can any tea and coffee connoisseurs point me into the right direction to find lovely and charming tea shops-u know the kind...the big jars or boxes of loose teas on the shelves where you can sniff and ask all kinds of questions to find the ones that suit your tastes. teas and coffees are one of my favorite things to bring back from any trip to sip and enjoy long after the trip is over. I do find 'yelp dublin' helpful with reviews, etc. One place I am interested in is Palais de Thes located on Wicklow street. I know it is a French co. that has shops in other cities worldwide. Interested in opinions on great places to sip a cuppa perhaps not so touristy such as Bewley's.
thank you in advance
What do you know about "An Evening of Fun, Food, and Folklore?" Worth the price? And how easy will it be to get a cab back to our hotel at the end of the show?
Another question, if I may. Should we do the Wicklow Mountain or Newgrange day tour? We only have time for one.
I want to hike this section on my own. I am having trouble finding lodging that I can be sure is relatively close to the walking trail. I don't want to go with a tour company because they want to charge me more for going solo adding single supplements. I am looking for budget lodging in Oughterard, Leenane, Westport, Maam Cross,lough Inaugh Valley. Any help would be appreciated.
I need to get from Dublin Airport to Lough Derg on Friday 31 May 2013. My plane arrives at 9:40am and unless it arrives early as they sometimes do, I won't make the 9:50 Bus To Ballyshannon. Are there any other public transportation options available? Any private tours heading that way? Thank you! If all else fails I'll have to hire a car.
I live in Las Vegas and I would like to plan a trip to visit Ardmore. What airport would I fly into and how would I get to Ardmore from there?
Will it be hard to find decent accomodation in the west coast area if you book as you go? We're travelling there in august and worry if we book now we'll not be able to go to places we might discover on the way, or if we like a place and would stay longer, we'd be out of luck if we booked ahead.
Hello! I am excited for my next vacation - leaving on May 23rd for Ireland. We will be there for 11 days -we are taking the "Best of Ireland" which is an organized Tour. that is a first for me! But I am looking for packing suggestions. I checked the extended weather forecast and it looks like it is cold (considering i am from Florida :> ) What type of coats are used at this time of the year-- is it like a trench coat, sweater, a heavier coat..? Any suggestions about packing is greatly appreciated! Thank you!

Also we are renting a car, but scared about traffic and driving on the other side of the road and car, we are from tennessee.....advise please.......please...please...
OK VT friends.....Another technology question: When we bought our new IPad, the clerk told us we should get AT&T for our data plan because it would have better connections and range in Ireland. I was hesitant because I am a Verizon girl, as I found AT&T to have terrible range and connectibility in the U.S. We did trust his suggestion and went with it, but now I am experiencing the same range problem I had before with AT&T. Am thinking of switching to my old pal Verizon for the pad but want to make sure it will be ok in Ireland. Thoughts, anyone?
We just bought an adapter kit to go with out new Macbook Air we are taking to Ireland. Do we also need a converter for that and for other small stuff like hair dryer, cell phones, iPod portable docking speaker? Thanks for any insights you have! ~ Kathy
I'm a Singaporean Chinese looking for a job in Ireland in July. Hospitality preferably. Is it possible and do I need any visa?
I will be in London in August and would like to go to Dublin for 2-3 nights. I am deciding which mode of transport to go by. Please advise?
Traveling to Ireland for 13-14 days (first time) and 2 of those days will be golfing (Old Head, Ballybunion). Must go to Donegal to visit home of ancestors. Should we stay one or two nights in Sligo? Want to see all the sights in southern part of Ireland. Flying in and out of Dublin. What's a reasonable plan without being worn out. Don't want to move every night.
We are coming to Ireland next month for a hiking tour through the Wicklow Mtns. Before the hiking begins we have 3 days "free". We were thinking of staying in Dun Laoghaire those days - easy access to Dublin without the costly lodging and close enough to Wicklow for the hiking tour.
Two questions:
- What is public transportation from Dublin Airport?
Suggestions on lodging?
Hello everybody, I have the choice between staying one night in Cork or in Limerick. What would you recommend? What is important to us: budget accomodation good nightlife good choice of happy hours lower price level Should we stay in Limerick or Cork for our last night? We have a rental car and need to be at Shannon airport by 3 pm, so I thought in case we stay at Cork we need to leave by noon? Thank you and greetings! midnightfever
We plan to visit Limerick in the next two weeks and travel by motorhome. we wondered if anyone knows of a good location for parking the motorhome convenient to the city and getting a bus or walking into the city. Is there any park and ride facilities around the city.
Will be arriving by train to Limerick/Limerick Junction from Dublin on a Sunday morning. Need to get to Shannon airport by 12:30. Which is the easiest (not necessary to have the cheapest) route from Limerick to the airport? I have a 65 year old lady with me and we'll both be dragging suitcases around with us. If it is a taxi, average cost please. Any help would be greatly appreciated...
Which city is more worth seeing, Galway or Limerick? Unfortunately my time is limited and I can only afford one day in one of this cities. I'd spent two nights in the selected city using it as a base for a daytrip to Cliffs of Moher, the other day would be free for sightseeing...
Where are there leather shops in limerick. I need to buy a leather skirt.

We are very interested in any information that can be given about "Shannon Cottage" at O'Briens Bridge on the Clare side of the river. Johns family came from the area and we are planning a trip over in May.
Is there an area in which to lock your bike at Limerick train station. If yes, is this secure?
Hi World, I'll be in Limerick on Wednesday 21st October. Is there anything interesting happening clubwise? A place for the over 25s to hang out is where I'm after. Or a younger place playing r'n'b/80s/90s? Thanks in advance. The Sandman
Earlier this evening I asked for information about getting from the city of Limerick to the airport in the city of Shannon, in order to make an Aer Lingus flight to London that leaves SHANNON Airport at 0845, on September 3rd. I requested information on reliable shuttle service, taxi or bus, that was reasonably cost effective. While I appreciated the detailed reply I received, the directions were to the airport in Dublin and not Shannon. Could I try my question again, please? Thank you.
I would like to know how one can reliably get from Limerick to Shannon Airport to catch an Aer Lingus flight that leaves for London at 0845. Is there a shuttle service, a public bus, a private car/taxi to hire that would accomplish this in a reasonably economical way? When answering, please include the name of the service, the time schedule, cost and any other pertinent information that would enable us to make a reservation. Thank you
From Limerick, We're planning a couple days for excursions in county clare. The more I read about Bunratty, Adare, etc. the more they sound like tourist traps rather than somewhere I want to spend my few precious days in Ireland. So now we're thinking maybe a day trip to Galway. It looks like a 1 1/2 hour bus ride (can anyone advise CityLink vs. Bus Eireann?) We are more interested in people and life than in old castles (at least where it requires the better part of a day) does this seem like a reasonable use of time? Is Galway fairly compact and walkable (child and grandmother included in group) Thanks!
Hello, Can anyone help us about finding groceries (yogurts, bread, cheese, fruit, crackers) in Limerick and generally (Ennis, smaller towns) -- are there "chains" of stores? What are they typically called? thanks!
I have just booked some cheap flights for me and my wife for her birthday to shannon airport for 2 nights and was wondering where was best to stay. Ennis or Limerick or even shannon. We would like something to explore during the day and we would like somewhere with some nice restuarants and we like a drink so lots of pubs too. Any info would be great. Thanks
Anyone know of a supplier that can ship Mead to the US? I remember having some in Ireland when I visited there but can't find it here in the States... Anyone?

1. Does the Jurys Inn have elevators? If not, does it have employees who would help carry luggage? 2. Does loud noise from your bar disturb the hotel guests? 3 How far away is the University?
I know one chinese superstore on Henry st. (probably). Are there any others shops in Limerick? Regards, Mike.
Would anyone be able to provide me with the names of some bus tour companies that provide day tours to the Cliffs of Moher and to Cork? I will be in Limerick next weekend and would like to take these tours while I am there. Thank you in advance for any help you can give me.
I know there was a post about this earlier in the year but I am wondering if anyonen can point me to a website which may list some, or even a, hostel in Limerick? I can't seem to find any. Since I have a car I will probably end up in a nearby town instead but I would still be interested to know if there are actually any hostels in Limerick....
All I am intending to stay in Limerick at Hilton [old Jurys Hotel] during October. What is there to do, enjoyment of all types, any type just trying to get the experience. I am from Jamaica so it would be allot different.
I will be arriving in Shannon and wanted to know if there is a train in Limerick to Cobh. Thanks for any help
Where do you go out and eat in Limerick if you're a vegetarian? And what is the situation like if you go to a random pub and ask for food without meat, fish or seafood in it? I guess you should be able to get something to eat in most places even if it's not on the menu?
I will be visiting the Limerick area in early June. I will be traveling with my 15 year old son and his friend; they both are avid skateboarders. I would appreciate any advise relating to skate parks in the area, places where skaters gather, rules relating to skating there ( where you can and can not skate ) and any laws relating to street skating in Limerick. I want this to be an awesome trip for them without the hassle of having to search for a place for them to skate and without worrying about breaking laws...(there are so many here in the USA that restrict skateboarding....wonder if it is a problem in Ireland too )..Also the location of skate shops in the area..I really would appreciate any information or advise.... Thank you...Renee
Hello, I will be visiting Limerick in April for a few days with my 2 daughters aged 8 and 4. Can anyone recommend attractions, places etc that they might find enjoyable? Where do the locals take their kids for fun? Any ideas welcome, even down to the good play areas, swimming pool etc, and anything to do with animals! Thanks so much for your time, I appreciate it!
My friend and I are traveling to Limerick to visit my sister who is studying abroad and we are looking for things to do while she is in school. We are willing to take a bus or taxi somewhere for suggestions outside of limerick. Any Suggestions are apprieciated. Thanks in advance.
HEY! Me and some of my girlfriends are going to Limerick for 10 days and the FREE place we had to stay at fell through! I can't seem to find any hostels in Limerick that will allow me to book online! I also heard the hostels in Limerick were dangerous. Any suggestions on somewhere very cheap to stay? Will they allow me to book them when I get there? Are B&Bs cheaper? We leave in 3 wks-HELP! Nicole
I will be in Ireland in February. I have an early flight out of Shannon, so I'd like to be as close as possible. Should I stay in Limerick or Ennis the night before? Do you think the easiest way to the airport is by bus? Or maybe shuttles from hotels are available? Thanks.
I don't live there but according to the timetable the 321 should be running as normal on Saturday. It doesn't run on... more
Ennis under an hour north from Shannon, plenty to do great Hostel to stay... more
