    The Aircoach does a route from Dublin to Cork, going every hour or so from Westmoreland St. It's something like €15 return.

    Ya, €8 on Tuesdays i think.
    The train is the best mode imo.
    Credit Uni will give you a return ticket for €60.
    City definetly have the best bands playing at half-time.

    Book Bus Éireann tickets online and ye save a bit. It's €11.80 rtn with a student card. Dunno other prices.
    The bus journey is long, about 4.5 hours, but there's a 15 minute stop in Urlingford with a shop, cafe, toilets, etc.

    It's the cheapest option is the bus, but if I could afford it I'd fly.

    I forget but no towns or anything like that anyway.
    I think it picks up in Cashel, Mitchelstown, Abbeyleix. A lot of people get off in Inchicore.

    I think it has a lot of stops. Brother got it last year & it took 5 hours although he did say was comfortable coach. It think it has 8 stops & web site says 4hr 20min. Some stops are on the main route but others like Kildare, Monasterevin & Portlaoise take you away from the main road.
