Hurling fans to tackle €185 rail deal
While thousands of Cork supporters will be scrambling today for 17,000 regular seats, the 100 passengers on the four-star service will receive a full breakfast on the trip, a match programme and an evening meal on their return. The €185 tickets are only marginally cheaper than return flights to Dublin, which are selling for around €200 from local travel agents.
But Iarnród Éireann expect seats on the luxury executive train to sell out and has defended the €185 seat price.
