Alright so im wondering what the transportation situation is for Ireland. Im looking into including Galway and Shannon into the Irish portion of my trip (Link Below, check it out i would love some feed back and ideas to fill up my itinerary!) and i am wondering what is the quickest most cost effective route from Galway or Shannon to Dublin. Any insight would be appreciated! Smile

By Shannon, do you mean Limerick? If so, I was underwhelmed, and wish I had overnighted in Galway instead.

http://www.buseirean… 3 hrs, 10 mins. 14,25 Euros.
http://new.irishrail… Fastest I see is 2hrs, 37mins no changes. some trains showing as cheap as 10 Euros.

Well I meant the town of Shannon to the Northwest of Limerick, but I’ve decided on just flying into Shannon and taking a bus or rail to Galway…any suggestions on Shannon to Galway?

And thanks for that Irish rail website! I will probably take an early morning train from Galway to Dublin. Thanks for the help.
