Maureen, It depends where you want to go. The rail network is limited and the level of service isn't as good as it could be on all routes. Also the route by rail to some places isn't as direct as it could be, so it can be quicker to go by bus. More rail details from http://www.irishrail.ie<BR><BR>The bus service is more extensive and cheaper than rail, more details from http://www.buseireann.ie<BR><BR>I suggest you decide where you want to go & check out the timetables & prices at these sites and see if they meet your needs. Given a choice I'd hire a car to get around the country.<BR><BR>http://gofree.indigo.ie/~kieran

What we were hoping to do is to use the buses to get from point A to B, the places where we will be staying and take day tours from these spots. We will stay in one cottage for one week in Clare, and one week in county Kerry. Neither of us feel confident enough to drive on the left .

My cousin and I went to Ireland last year and did not rent a car. We stayed in Dublin first, then traveled to Killarney, Galway and finally Bunratty, all by bus. We stayed several days in each place (except Bunratty) and took one all day tour from each city. The rest of our sightseeing we did on foot. It worked out fine. We plan to travel by bus again, and maybe train, the next time we go. (We were careful to pack light!)
