We’ve all got a story to tell when it comes to navigating Ireland via public transport. It’s usually more of a journey to middle earth a la Lord of the Rings rather than a direct route to your chosen destination, with all sorts of surprises along the way.

Iarnród Éireann have promised to keep a close eye on the new residents and keep wildlife enthusiasts updated on their progress.
