Nimpy keep off the shorts on the boat as they are 35cl over here , as long as you remember where you are staying

Easy trip for myself getting the train 11.25am out of Athenry and should be in Dublin at 1.30pm ......

Flying out Thursday morning returning Saturday night. UTC!

Random question, do the Irish use the same plug system as us or do they use the European style?

Excellent use of away game to fulfil family obligations, award yourself a Guiness.

Home game for me.

Finish work. Meet another Claret for a few pints in town and then the Luas to Tallaght.

I think the Luas is going to be busy before and after the game - I'd suggest giving yourself plenty of time on the way down to Tallaght.

I don't think it will be that busy at that time, Tallaught stadium only holds 6000, Friday's people finish early and disperse down the country to see family, so it's not a bad time to travel on the Luas.

I'm luckily door to door, quite literally my first Irish "home" game as I missed the tour of Cork a few years ago in 12 or 13.

@DubClaret where are you traveling from? I'm going on my own as my dad pulled out due to illness.

Was 2013 in Cork and Feb 2008 on that bitterly cold night at Dalymount Park when neither side had a shot at goal.

Walking from work.

Also, LUAS will be fine. Run every 8 minutes at that time of day, and a few hundred won't flood it.
