Perys Best Western in the best value going. Nice place, bang in the middle of town for only €52 for a twin.

That's a bit of a stretch. Even Limerick has far more to offer. :)

Actually..... I just checked....Not so sure it does at the price. Went for Jurys inn free cancellation and near Dolans, an extra 13 bucks pp.

It might have gone up, I booked it yesterday and it was €52 for a twin and that was refundable.

I've stayed in Jurys and I much prefer Preys. Better location, much more amenable residents bar and a nice brekkie the next day for only a fiver.

I'm not so sure about Dolans as the bar of choice anymore either. Nothing against the pub itself but it was dead as a doornail after the ML final.

Might find somewhere closer to town. Flannerys on Shannon Street is a good boozer, although not likely to get a late drink there in fairness.

We were down in The Locke Bar pre ML final. Cracking place, but again, don't know about a late one.

We'll probably decide nearer the time if we'll head down. If we've an away Heineken Cup quarter final etc. around that time, finances will be tight(er).

Might have had something to do with some flooding they had. Agree that the lobby area could do with a face-lift but the room was grand and as you say the brekkie was nice, especially for a fiver!

Hi, does anyone know what approximate time the OLSC buses will leave Dublin and then leave Limerick based on the 7.30 Saturday kick off? Also where do they leave Dublin? Thanks

Mad day today and didn't get a chance to log on to purchase tickets until a few minutes again. Anyway, I've clicked on the e-mail link several times, but no joy. Has our allocation sold out?

My wife at home even got a call from ticketmaster asking to rib up the tickets.
I just thought it was a prank, obviously not.
