    there is a bus leaving from Parkgate street near Heuston Station which is free if you have a train ticket. Theres a code on bargain alerts for 10% off Irish Rail at the moment.

    Thanks for your help all, Train is around 45 euro return , might be handy to have the car to bring a few bits if I make a few purchases. Am thinking I might just drive and leave around 8 , get home early.

    How much will it cost you in fuel/toll fees though?

    Parking at Bloom will be 5 euro for the day.


    If it were me,then Id get the train and Id bring a large fold up carry bag or 2 with me.
