    From facebook:

    Festival of the Fires People are welcome to book their own buses and they can drop off and pick up adjacent to the main car park. We will not be running a shuttle bus service to the larger towns of Mullingar or Athlone. Private bus companies are welcome to run charters. The only bus service we are running is between the main festival gate and the Uisneach Inn in Killare as the R390 is strictly off limit to pedestrians

    Haven't heard of any private buses running yet anyway. I'll keep my ear out

    Any info on this would be great, as getting out of the Festival late might be an issue if there arent any busses going back to Mullingar.

    Im sure there will be cabs waiting outside too? Any one remember from last year?

    It is one of the less well organised sides of the festival
    you'd thumb a lift no problem.

    your right nice guy, it does say on the site that there is private charters going from athlone and mullingar but thats all the info there given, they obviously want nothing to do with it, i hope it doesnt put a dampner on it......
    but its true what my mother used to tell me....'where theres will theres a way'
    anyway onto a better note, who is everyone lookin forward to seeing??

    I cant wait to see The Hothouse Flowers, Kila, Mikey and the Scallywaggs and Jape plus loads more........

    See ya'll there!! (,")
