2ashevillesailors Posted January 27, 2015 #1 Share Posted January 27, 2015 We are tendering in to Dunmore East, Ireland in August. We really want to go to Kilkenny and want to find out how to get there, have not found a tour, thinking of renting a car, any ideas would be appreciated.

Rare VMax1700 Posted January 27, 2015 #2 Share Posted January 27, 2015 I think you have 2 options. Hire a car or take a train. If you are comfortable with driving on the left side of the road, then the car is probably best. Taxi from Dunmore East to Waterford Airport (about euro 25); Car hire through Hertz; drive to Kilkenny - less than 1 hour. For the return, do it all in reverse. There are other car hire firms but all close at 5.30pm or 6 pm. For the train, you would need to take taxi or bus to Waterford, then train to Kilkenny. The timings aren't great. here's a link to the timetable: http://www.irishrail.ie/media/04-dublinwaterford250920131.pdf?v=gc3ukca you will get to Kilkenny at 11.34, but have to leave at 4.40 pm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sparkopotamus Posted March 19, 2015 #3 Share Posted March 19, 2015 We face the same dilemma. We'll be on the Silhouette for the BI sailing in June, and have decided to split a cab with another couple. The bus to Waterford / train to Kilkenny option doesn't leave much time in Kilkenny. My husband doesn't want to rent a car, however I think I'm going to call Hertz anyway and ask if they'd consider dropping off the car at Dunmore East.
