    Ideally i'd like to travel by plane as it's quicker. But Shannon Airport and/or Kerry Airport don't seem to fly to Belfast.

    Anyone have any idea on the easiest way to get there?

    Is the travel to take part in a tradeshow or franchise sale?!?

    Its a business trip with potentially more to follow.

    Are they any other airports in the belfast area that I could fly to or anything like that?

    According to skyscanner.ie, Kerry to Manchester, and then Manchester to Belfast, and this takes between 5 and 7 hours, and cost a min of €128

    According to Irishrail.ie, Limerick to Belfast Central takes 6 hours, and costs €88

    The train would probably be less hassel, as you don't have to be there an hour or so prior to check in, etc.

    You can fly Shannon to Derry, and Derry to Belfast.

    Not sure how the connections work out, but it's possible.

    Surely driving Limerick - Dublin - Belfast would be the quickest option.
    < 2 hours for each leg given that it's motorway all the way. I'd guess you should make it in < 4 hours.
