    You've four options:

    Train
    Fare is EUR 10.50 return. Time taken is 18 minutes, but Newry station is quite a way from the town centre - there is a free connecting bus (Ulsterbus service 341).

    Times for trains and connecting buses are at:
    http://www.translink.co.uk/resources2007/pdfs/Enterprise_ttable_131209.pdf

    You can book online at www.irishrail.ie

    Aircoach:
    From the Dundalk Retail Park
    Fare EUR 17.50

    Either expressway service 001 or local service 100:

    Fare on the local service 100 is EUR 6.80 return - you can only buy the tickets for these services at the bus station in Dundalk. Note that not all service 001 coaches serve Dundalk. You'll need to plan your journey.

    cos they're not designed to be a short hop service and don't want people taking spaces from those going to/from the airport
