MUNSTER TRAVEL INFORMATION
Brought to you in partnership with Thomas Cook Sport
Edinburgh will compete in the Guinness PRO14 Final Series for the first time ever and we want to help you get there to support Richard Cockerill as they write a new chapter in the club’s history.
There are other major events taking place in Limerick this weekend, so we understand travel and accommodation is difficult - but we want as many Edinburgh fans at Thomond Park supporting their city.
Here are some options for you to consider:
Shannon
Aer Lingus fly direct from Edinburgh to Shannon, which lies just 30 minutes by car or 50 minutes by bus from Limerick.
Ennis Bus Station is just a short walk from the terminal building and bus number 343 goes to Limerick Bus Station
Cork
Aer Lingus fly to Cork from both Edinburgh and Glasgow Airports.
The bus to Limerick takes around two and a half hours, changing in Cork. Take the number 226 from the airport and 51 from Cork Parnell Place Bus Station.
If you choose to drive, you can do the journey in under two hours.
Ferries
There are two ferry routes operating between Scotland and Northern Ireland offering a combined total of 84 sailings per week.
P&O Irish Sea operates one route - Cairnryan to Larne - which takes around two hours and runs seven times daily. Stena Line operates one route - Cairnryan to Belfast - which takes just over two hours and runs five times daily.
