If you decide to travel around Ireland by bus, then Ireland’s national bus service, Bus Éireann, is your first port of call. For those who do not understand the Irish language, ‘Éireann’ is a way of saying ‘Ireland’ in Gaelic. There are other bus companies but they usually are for intercity travel and rarely serve regional towns. Bus Éireann usually provides a reliable service but there is the odd delay and/or cancellation so be sure to check their Twitter page for up-to-date information. There is also a small discount for when buying tickets online. For those whose first language is not English, and for even those not accustomed to the dulcet sounds of the Irish accent, please be kind to the bus driver.
Yes, they might be difficult to understand but they are the means of getting you from A to B and even C.
