Irish Citylink
Pros: Driver was very helpful and arrived at the airport 10 mins early. Bus was very comfortable, clean, with phone charging (vip). Cons: All good Tips: Appears to be expensive but when offset against the cost of petrol and airport car parking (for 1 person), it's competitive. Not the case if adding 2, 3 or 4 people.
