Have sent an email to Paddywagon Tours (they came in at the last minute with an excellent deal for the trip to Cardiff) to see if they would be interested - will keep you posted as to their response.

I suggested to them that they could have a look at this thread if they wanted to guage demand so it may not be a bad idea for people to post if they are still looking for transport.

I would 2 as well - thats assuming I could get two tickets.

Does anyone know if tickets will go on general sale?

Had to give up my season ticket last year for financial reasons and it is not something I will be doing again.

Hi was on to kavanagh's and they very kindly sent the following reply , I would have no problem paying 20 euro for my four passengers they need to gage interest however : Hi
I have spoken to JJ about your email.
He has advised me that we can run a coach from Limerick to Dublin Subject to demand.
Cost will be €20 return.
If you ring our transport manager in Nenagh-Martin Clarke on 086 2845416, he would be able to advise you of times.
Please find out how many passengers would be traveling or have a rough idea.
Martin was also speaking with JJ about the coaches.
I hope this has helped you.

If you have any other queries, please feel free to contact us.

Regards

Is there any possiblity of the OLSC exploring the above offer from kavanaghs and seeing if there are enough people who have already tried to book a bus with them filling another bus at 20 euros a head ?. I know there may be logistics issues but it might be possible to over come them . I would love to take kavanaghs up on their offer personally but just don't have the time or ability to co ordinate this ( as I going to Cardiff ) , I would be more than happy to check people on and off the bus on the day , I'm a teacher and spend my life counting people on busses.

I just rang JJ Kavanaghs and they told me they aren't running this bus to/from Thomond Park. Can't find anything on their website either.
Anyone talked to them/booked it with them yet?

If anyone is still looking for transport give me a shout - there is a bus going from Templeogue and there may still be some seats available - cost is €15 return. The return time may be slightly delayed as the Champions League Final is on and a lot of the people booked onto the bus already are asking to stay to watch the match.

All six seats gone now.

There is also a possibility of two or three tickets available - will know for definite about 10am tomorrow.
