    hi guys, my parents are invited to a wedding in the Slieve Russell hotel in Ballyconnell next month. Thing is my dad would not be up for driving tat long distance so they wer tinking bout getting public transport. I have a few questions tat i wud love if you wer able to answer.
    They were tinking of getting a bus from tralee to athlone and then a bus from athlone to cavan.
    is there a bus service from Athlone to cavan or wud they hav to go to Dublin and then on to Cavan.
    When they get to Cavan town, is there a local bus service to go to Ballyconnell. is the slieve russell hotel far from Ballyconnell, proberly need a taxi to get there.
    the mass is on at 1 so i presume they need to go the day before.

    Hi Hanwin,

    The journey Planner on the bus eireann website should guide you the the best option to get from Kerry to Cavan, After looking myself and the bus seems to be a very long process to get anyone from Kerry to cavan.

    The Driving might sound like the last option but driving from Killarney to Cavan town takes about 4 hours(Gospel according to Google),and On a bus it could take 6 or 7 hours.

    Id say the OP's parents have been to cavan and back already...I wouldn't hold my breath on the train link to navan either.
