Irish Rail called on to provide extra trains for Cork GAA fans ahead of Saturday's Munster hurling final
The much anticipated Munster senior hurling final between the two heavyweights will take place in the TUS Gaelic Grounds, Limerick at 6pm on Saturday, June 7 for a fixture that is a guaranteed sell-out. A stand ticket for the Munster final will cost €50, which represents an 11pc rise on 2024. Admission to the terraces will cost €40, with a €5 discount for students and U16s being charged €10. Limerick who have won the last six Munster hurling championship titles secured a very comprehensive win against the Rebels in Round 4 of the Munster senior hurling championship on Sunday, May 18. Limerick produced a brilliant display as they cruised to a win on a final scoreline of 3-26 to 1-16. Cork who last won the Mick Mackey Cup in 2018 reached the All-Ireland final last year and they captured the league title earlier this year. Cork have however failed to replicate their early season form in recent matches and the Treaty County men will start Saturday's game as favourites to retain the Mick Mackey Cup. Cork have however defeated Limerick in two of their last three encounters and Saturday's clash is expected to be a thrilling clash. Labour TD for Cork North Central Eoghan Kenny has called on Irish Rail to put on extra trains from Cork for fans travelling to the Munster final. 'Rebels from across the county will be winging their way to Limerick this Saturday for what will be a fantastic game between Cork and Limerick in this year's Munster Hurling Final.' The Cork TD said the Munster final is a very 'special' day in the Irish sporting calendar. 'It will be attended by fans up and down the county which is why I've written to Irish Rail to ask for additional rail services to be provided this weekend. Trains from 9:30am are totally booked out and that's before we even consider people changing the time of their return ticket. 'The demand is there and the obvious thing to do is to put on some extra services to get fans to the stadium safely so that as many people as possible can hopefully see Cork lift the Mick Mackey Cup,' he added.

Rail line closed between Connolly Station and Dún Laoghaire for June bank holiday weekend
IRISH RAIL HAS announced that its services between Dublin's Connolly Station and Dún Laoghaire will be unavailable this weekend as commuters flock to a series of bank holiday events. Between today and Monday, 2 June, restrictions and alterations will apply to both rail and bus services because of limited capacity due to annual summer gatherings such as the Bloom festival and the VHI Women's Mini Marathon taking place. Here are the main changes to note across the primary public transport services. Irish Rail A revised timetable will be in place for the weekend, with Monday's times operating as Sunday schedules for Dart and commuter services. Dart services between Connolly Station and Dún Laoghaire will be unavailable due to major works on the line between Connolly and Blackrock which will also impact Rosslare Intercity services. However, rail tickets on affected routes are valid on Dublin Bus. Dart services are operating between Malahide/Howth and Connolly, and between Dún Laoghaire and Bray/Greystones. Irish Rail is reminding customers to pre-book tickets to ensure a seat on intercity trains because of high demand on Heuston-bound rail for the purpose of attending the Bord Bia Bloom festival in Dublin's Phoenix Park. Advertisement Some Dublin-bound trains from Galway, Limerick, Cork and Waterford are already fully booked, so additional trains will operate out of Cork and Galway to accommodate passenger numbers heading to Bloom Extra early trains from Cobh, Midleton and Mallow will be laid on to provide for high numbers attending the Cork City Marathon on Sunday. Bus Éireann The company says all services will operate to a Sunday schedule this weekend. This will include Dublin's Expressway services serving Ballina, Cavan, Donegal, Dundalk, Letterkenny, Monaghan, Sligo, Waterford and Wexford as well as serving Cork, Galway, Limerick and Tralee. Customers are strongly advised to pre-book their tickets and allow for delays if heading to and from Dublin Airport on Expressway due to holidaymakers jetting abroad. The VHI Women's Mini Marathon in the capital will cause road closures, so Bus Éireann says people must check service updates on its website for the latest travel information. Dublin Bus The company's Monday service will operate to a Sunday schedule. Its Nitelink service will continue today, but will not be in place tomorrow. Customers are told to be aware of traffic diversions in place across the city to facilitate the Women's Mini Marathon tomorrow. Readers like you are keeping these stories free for everyone...

Dublin Bus announce extension of new bus route which will link up Bray with Luas
Our community members are treated to special offers, promotions and adverts from us and our partners. You can check out at any time. More info Dublin Bus have announced the extension of the new L14 bus route, which will link up Bray and Shankill with Cherrywood and the Green Line Luas. The extended service will begin operating this Sunday. The route change comes after much local consternation with the recent new BusConnects rollout in the area in January, which left Bray and Shankill without a direct route to Cherrywood and a link up with the Luas. The route, which previously just served local roads between Palermo and the Southern Cross in Bray, has now doubled in length, and will serve Shankill and Loughlinstown before heading to Cherrywood. It will also now serve the emerging area of Laughanstown, where a lot of new homes are currently being built. There is no change to the route's timetable, meaning the route will continue to operate every half an hour seven days a week, offering 35 return services Monday to Friday, 32 return services on Saturdays, and 30 return services on Sundays and public holidays. The route will now also provide a link between the Luas and the Dart at Bray station. Director of Public Transport Services at the National Transport Authority Jeremy Ryan said: 'Building on the success of the initial launch of the L14 under Phase 6A of BusConnects in January, we've taken on board valuable customer feedback highlighting the need for stronger onward connectivity. In response, we're pleased to announce that Route L14 will now extend to serve Cherrywood, Shankill, and connect with the Luas Green Line – making the serviced more accessible and convenient for our passengers.'
