By rail in Sligo
Córas Iompar Éireann
Both Iarnród Éireann and Bus Éireann are separate parts of a state-owned company, which is sometimes still known by its old name of CIE (Córas Iompar Éireann, which means Irish Travel Company).
They both arrive at the same location in Sligo, at the junction of Strandhill Road and Lord Edward Street. The train station is called Stáisiúin Mhic Dhiarmada, named after Seán MacDiarmada, a signatory of the Proclomation of the Irish Republic in 1916, and originally from nearby County Leitrim.

Irish Rail (Iarnród Éireann), Lord Edward Street, ☎ (071) 916 9888, . operates eight trains per day Monday to Sunday from Dublin's Connolly Station. The trip takes a little over 3 hours and adult prices range from €32 to €44 with price reductions for children under 12, students with valid student ID and free travel for children under 3. Oddly enough, the price for a return journey is exactly the same as for a single one. If your travelling days are variable, travel Monday to Thursday or Saturday, as tickets are more expensive on Friday and Sunday (the busier days). �
