Irish Rail to put on extra trains for Musgrave Park gigs
Irish Rail will run additional services for the concerts in Musgrave Park (Virgin Media Park) this week. The run of gigs starts on Thursday with Macklemore and Rudimental before The Corrs take to the stage on Friday with support from Natalie Imbruglia and Imelda May. Saturday sees the Stereophonics perform at the Ballyphehane venue. In a post on social media on Wednesday, Irish Rail confirmed that extra trains would be put on to help attendees get home from the gigs. The additional services will be in place for the Cork to Cobh route as well as the Cork to Midleton and Cork to Mallow routes. It is, as of yet, unclear if Irish Rail will put on extra trains on Saturday for fans travelling to the Munster hurling final in the Gaelic Grounds. Labour TD for Cork North Central Eoghan Kenny urged them to do so, saying: '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. 'It's a very special day in the Irish sporting calendar and 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.'

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.

Munster Hurling Final ticket update as Limerick and Cork to go at it again
Munster GAA have released a ticket update for the Limerick/Cork provincial hurling decider on Saturday week, and it's not good news for the casual fan. The Gaelic Grounds tie is almost certain to sellout as Cork go into the lion's den again, having been hammered by 16 points by Limerick at the same venue eight days ago. That tie attracted a bumper sellout crowd of 42, 477 for the group stage meeting and the same is expected in 12 days time. It's hard to believe that this is Cork's first Munster Hurling Final appearance in seven years (2018), while this historymaking Limerick side go for the province's first ever seven-in-a-row. Limerick won their recent meeting 3-26 to 1-16 to qualify for the Munster Final. This allowed them to rest key players in their weekend dead rubber defeat by Clare. Cork had to defeat Waterford at Pairc Ui Chaoimh over the weekend to stay alive in the Championship - and they did that on a 2-25 to 1-22 scoreline, despite hitting 17 wides. The Rebels were without injured skipper Robert Downey, while Declan Dalton and Niall O'Leary also missed the game due to injury. They're all in a race against time to prove their fitness for the rematch with John Kiely's all conquering side. Ger Mellerick, Cormac O'Brien and Seamus Harnedy all came into the Cork side at the weekend, showing the depth they have, while Diarmuid Healy impressed off the bench. The winner of the Munster Final will go straight through to the All-Ireland semi-final, with the loser going into the quarter-finals. It's a game that has got fans excited as the hurling world waits to see if a Cork side, which defeated Limerick twice in last year's Championship, can muster a response to their recent mauling. But getting a ticket to see this one could prove tricky. Munster GAA released the following statement: 'Due to the high demand, tickets for the Munster Senior Hurling Final on Saturday June 7 at 6pm in the TUS Gaelic Grounds Limerick will be distributed through the participating County Boards only. 'Season ticket holders from Limerick and Cork will receive their tickets through the normal channels. There will be no public sale of tickets via Ticketmaster, Centra or Supervalu outlets.'
