Hello there!
I need to get to the Shannon Airport for the morning of August 29th. Can anyone suggest some options for me? I am hoping that I don't have to leave Dingle on the 28th, but I might have to. Has anyone taken a taxi to Shannon from Dingle and what kind of cost might I expect?
Cheers

Hi
Have you tried the www.cie.ie web site for bus and rail. As you know it is a long way.
Hi Scanos
Thanks for posting that site. I have been looking at this bus schedule, and it looks like I am going to be leaving Dingle on the 28th if I am to make my flight out on the 29th. Cheers.
The train network operates through Tralee but there is no direct connection to Limerick unfortunately. Kerry has an airport but there are only flights to Dublin airport (Ryanair)
Well, it looks as if I will have to leave Dingle on Thursday the 28th....

OK If anyone needs to know, a taxi from Dingle to Shannon Airport and will cost 185 Euros. One option is to taxi to Tralee for 70 Euros and take a bus to Shannon from there.
Hi
Have you thought of hiring a car?
One thing that always fascinates me is the way these real countryside pubs are quite often a pub combined with a hardware store and a convenience store and a bicycle repair shop and a farm implement store and everything you can think of in one.
Visit Foxy John's in Dingle for instance and you'll get a good example.
Unless you're there in the July/August "heat wave", I wouldn't swim here without a wetsuit - this water is COLD! But a more picturesque beach you will never find! This is a lovely spot to stretch your legs. Strolling and breathing the clean fresh air is great!
I heard fellow Germans in the B&B who were surprised when they heard that there was a language called Irish. I was shocked....
So here are a few facts that might be helpful:
Yes there is a language called Irish.
Yes everyone has to learn it in school.
No, it's no dialect of English.
Yes, in some areas (Gaeltachts) people still speak it in everyday life. Not only the old people! In Dingle, too!
Yes, on some signs in these areas signposts are only in Irish - so you better check the Irish name of the place you are going to before hitting the road!!
Enzo has a few great pages about the language on his Ireland page...
Make sure you get a caddy, as walking up and down, up and down, can definately be a drain on your golf game. I've never been so tired after carrying my bag for 18 holes, but the course is wonderful. The backdrop of the sea on some holes is just unbelievable.
Located at the tip of the Dingle peninsula is Dunmore Head, Ireland's westernmost point. A short walk from main the road this rock covered in sheep and sheep's droppings juts out into the sea. Canada straight ahead!
