It must be so horrible to live there if you dont have a car, if you had a flight from dublin airport early monday morning how would you ever get there with all the cuts to rural transport?

aidan_walsh · 25-09-2010 09:23PM

Get someone else to drive you.

I have a cat...it would be horrible if i didnt have a cat because id have all this cat food and nothing to do with it!

It's especially horrible for us outgoing teenagers. Relying on parents for transport is both a pain for us and for them.

I mean, if the town was just a tiny bit closer I could walk, but it's not, and there's virtually no public transport within walking distance. Pain in the backside..

You can fly to Dublin from one of the many regional airports.

There are also trains & buses too.

Though, I suspect that you know that already.

I remember a neighbour of mine cycled to Dublin years ago to get the boat. He had hang sandwiches and a bottle of Guinness in the suitcase for the trip..

Culchies always go on and on about how much of a ****hole Dublin is, but the end of the day you couldn't pay me to live the in the country.

My local bus comes every 8-16 minutes depending on time of day, how often does yours come you silly boggers. :pac:

Rural is such a depressing word

25-09-2010 09:57PM

Oh great. Another one of these threads.

Why would you go to Dublin Airport ?

Less frequently than that, admittedly, but there's no skangers getting off it when it does arrive.

I dont need a bus because I drive a car..;) I agree with Liam though on the bus thing only thing he forgot to say most of them have needles and other concocksions hanging out of them..

You can get international flights from:

Shannon
Knock
Waterford
Cork

I'm unsure about Farronfore, Sligo and Donegal, they are national but I don't know if they are international

Fecking boards and its Dublin focus, most of Ireland has no need to go to Dublin Airport

+1. Well I'd live in a countryside area but one that's close to a city, e.g. Swords kinda vicinity if I lived in Dublin.

It leaves town at 11 am and gets back at 7 pm.

You live in Limerick, you deal with skobes

-Corkie- · 25-09-2010 10:05PM

You can get international from Farronfore. Why would you go to Dublin with there `Bleeding`M50 and all there road rage etc etc.

Thats a bit of a silly question liam, how many flights are left in shannon now?

storm2811 · 25-09-2010 10:11PM

Getting pretty sick of these threads, it's not some kind of middle age wasteland down here, you know.

Denzil2222 · 25-09-2010 10:13PM

Alot of people here have said lots of other airports have international flights but what if your nearest airport is 100 km away?

johnmcdnl · 25-09-2010 10:23PM

Well I've gotten on so far without public transport so it's really not a big deal is it - I get a taxi home any night from the town 5-6 euro so nothing really more than you pay and I get into town for free too so..

ohh and the other thing - I can drive a car and in I can go 10 miles in 10-15 minutes no bother so nowhere is far away is it now....

how many buses does it take you to get from somewhere on the southside of dublin to get to the airport on a busy day with your public transport

in the same length of time I probably get to the airport from my house in cavan and I'd be able to bring my bags and all in the boot of the car and wouldn't have to carry the bags half a mile down the road to the bus stop either.... and I can choose when to leave...

I'd never ever consider choosing to live in the city over the countryside - ye really have no idea how much better life is in the country

100kph in a car is 1 hour away.... not too far is it - sur unless you lived outside the airport it's gonna take you 20-30 minutes at least to get from the city centre to an airport anyways...

I would love to be in a position of acknowledging your amazing all-knowing powers, however the above is so completely incorrect that I have to change that to acknowledging you talking through your arse instead.

Ah Liam, lighten up, this is After Hours

You responded to a post about boggers by commenting on excellent bus service and the lack of skangers.

Well I'm not far from Limerick and they were always called skobes.

I don't know you, I don't know your bus route, I'm happy it's a good bus service but seriously relax, this isn't politics forum

Talking through my arse? Maybe but not once in my one line post did I attack you. So attack the post and not the poster

Absurdum · 25-09-2010 10:50PM

rural Ireland is great, I absolutely love it

it's the inbetween places like Cork who think they're something special that are headwreckers

ITT: Dubliners justifying (or attempting to), their high living costs, congested living conditions, and proximity to rats, both two legged and four.

Many people, (Dubs too!) accept that life doesn't stop at the Red Cow.

There is no bus route!

It was promised 15 years ago and never materialised!
