    As per the title, I'm coming into dublin tomorrow morning from coach and need to be in Kenmare.

    I'll be arriving into dublin at 10:50am.

    Is there a service down as I cannot make head nor tail of Bus Eireann's website.

    Thanks

    The only option is train or bus to Killarney and then taxi from there.

    The last bus from Killarney to Kenmare leaves at 15:00, which would connect out of the 11:00 train from Dublin Heuston (changing at Mallow), but given you arrive at 10:50 (although you don't say where) you probably would not make that connection for the 11am train.

    Trains run to Killarney (changing at Mallow) at 13:00, 1500, 17:05 (direct), and 19:00. Time taken is just over 3 hours 20 minutes.

    Train timetable is here.

    Buses require a change at Limerick, and would take about 6 hours 10 minutes with a 50 minute wait at Limerick (depart Dublin at 12:30, arrive Limerick 15:45, depart Limerick at 16:35 and arrive Killarney at 18:40).

    Timetable for Dublin to Limerick buses is here.

    Timetable for Limerick to Killarney buses is here.

    Timetable for Killarney to Kenmare buses is here.

    My advice - take the train. It may cost more but you will be there far quicker.
