I'm volunteering and have to be there on the Thursday, anyone know the best way to get there? I don't think busses are running yet and I can't drive...

It's not that far away by taxi (12km i think) so if you meet a few in port laoise it will not be that bad

Ok cool there may be a few people in the town who'd like to share a taxi.

I'm volunteering as well and I'll need to get a taxi. My plan is to get the train down and just see what happens when I get there!

I'm sure there will be loads of people to split taxis with!
