    I've got a bit of a challenge, does anyone know of a way from Cork to Dublin Airport between hours of earliest leaving Cork at 10 o clock tomorrow night and arriving dublin around 4.30/5am?

    I don't drive, there doesn't seem to be a bus or train available....is there any method of travel I'm missing out on?

    Basically I have a whole trip planned but can't find a way from Cork to Dublin...any ideas?

    Find a taxi driver and offer him a good price, my Dad has driven people from Dublin to Galway before

    I can't even cycle...I'm useless.

    I also forgot to mention that I'm broke so it has to be reasonable price (couldn't be paying a Taxi from Cork to Dublin).

    Ah ffs what more do you want we're offering you suggestions and you're shooting them all down. Learn to ride a bike, rent a horse, pogo. There's a whole world of options out there.

    Hoping someone will offer you a lift?

    I guess you'll have to hitch, possibly with lorry drivers. Let's hope you don't have a pretty mouth, eh? ;)

    Thinking someone will have creative ideas, someone on another forum told me to go into An Post delivieries office and explain my situation, I'm trying to get over to Liverpool v. Spurs, flying dub - manchester return...he said he used to work there and if I got onto a liverpool fan who was doing deliveries I might have a bleak hope....worth a shot anyway.

    Then you don't have the whole trip planned now do you?

    Wheelie bin is the best option that will utilise all your stated skills.

    He's gonna put himself in a huge envelope and post himself.

    Erm hears athought why dont you leave Cork a little bit earlier get the last train/bus to Dublin and wait around the airport a couple of hours extra , instead of worrying how to get there leave earlier
    Common sense :rolleyes:


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,876 ✭✭✭rizzee


    Why don't you sell your match day ticket that way you'll have enough for a taxi?

    Clever plan that.
