so ASAP if anyones interested

could we get a sticky on this

..if you are organising a bus then I'd recommend to leave at 1pm latest..it could take around 41/2 - 5 hrs to get up there with no problems...you'd want to leave a bit of time for any problems (flat tyres etc) ...with the flight being at 7.30 then you'd want to be at the airport around 6ish....well thats my opinion anyway

I was going to say the same thing.
Dublin airport is crazy these days so you'd want to give yourself as much time as possible. If I was planning it I'd leave at 00:00
You know someone is always going to delay you.

Yeah I'd say the bus would need to leave at 1am alright, just to allow for any unforeseen delays. We won't run into traffic in the middle of the night obviously but you'd never know what might happen and we have to make sure we'd be there by 5.30/6am to allow enough time to check in and get breakfast!

good point about brekkie.....it'll have to leave at midnight so.

Lads you put your names down then we might be do it for 00.00 or 01.00. It is up to us to get this right and dublin has a nice breakfast. so lads get your names down.

**ccfc till i die** · 19/05/2004, 4:01 PM

GavinZac · 19/05/2004, 4:02 PM

thecorner · 19/05/2004, 6:46 PM

point taken lads

this bus will now be leaving at 12.30 so leave names below as we need to know demand

names will also be taken friday night against longford

**A face** · 20/05/2004, 12:35 AM

Lads,

Just to let you know, I have a friend with a PSV licence. (He can drive a minibus) so i might be an idea to hire a bus ... he'll drive us up, and he can stay with family over the weekend and drive us back down when we come back.

Only suggesting this as it would be easy this way, if there are delays on the way back etc. ... just give him a ring kinda thing.

thecorner · 20/05/2004, 8:44 AM

thanx for the suggestion a face but at the moment we dont know waht demand will be like so best to stick with the coach.

we ned to get this done and dusted quickly as summer tours will be starting fairly soon with bus companies

**Flynninio** · 20/05/2004, 1:10 PM
