Skibbereen to Cork (237) Cork to Tralee (40A) Tralee to Dingle (275) just over 6 hours
Dingle to Tralee (275) Tralee to Limerick (13) Limerick to Shannon (51) 4 to 5 hours.

The Bus Eireann timetables are available to down load but am having problems at the moment. Click the journey planner on the home page for your requirements, this can only be within 30 days of your planned trip.

Thanks Tony! Kind of round about routes and long. Any other options besides bus? I know cab would be cost prohibitive. Thanks again, James

Skibbereen is well served by bus's, Dingle is out on a peninsular and has little public transport. You would think it easy to get from Killarney to Dingle but then you would still have to go via Tralee. Out of season there can be only 2 bus's per week serving Dingle. A cab would be really expensive about 5 years ago I got stuck in Cork Airport without the Hire car booked with a "Respectable" company 11.30 at night and E120 cab fare to Killarney.

James,

Welcome to my forum. I see that Tony has given you the info you need, so my thanks to him. Yes, getting around in rural Ireland can be a challenge and time consuming. Hope it works out for your trip.

Let us know if you have any other questions.

Michele
