Visitors urged to take the train to the Irish Open

Gardaí are encouraging people to use the train if they are going to the Irish Open Golf Championship, at the Fota Island Golf Resort in East Cork.

The organisers hoping that more than 100,000 people will attend the event, which will be staged from June 18 to 22.

Superintendent John Quilter said that, as Fota has its own station, travelling by rail will the “easiest, quickest, and most direct way to get to the course”.
