Hi :)
I posted something very similar (though to a different location) last week, but it looks like that probably won't work out (thank you very much for everyone's help!), so I'm looking at hopefully trying to get to Cobh instead.
As I said before I work for a conservation charity, but we sometimes do work on Brittany Ferries on one of the ships that crosses to Ringaskiddy. If we're on time the ship should get in at 11am on a Saturday (the next time I'll be onboard, the Saturdays will be 17th and 24th September - the only other time I'll be onboard will be 8th October), and people who work on the ship should hopefully be able to get off at about 11:30am/11:45am. Crew then need to be back onboard the ferry at 3pm.
I've just found out while typing this that they're running late, so on the 17th at least we will likely get into Ringaskiddy at 2pm (so crew should hopefully be able to get off at 2:30pm/2:45pm) and leave at 6pm (so crew need to be back on by 5pm/5:15pm). Hopefully for the other days we'll have caught up and be back on the normal schedule, but I'm not sure!
I was just wondering what the best way to get to Cobh from the ferry port is? (Crew aren't allowed to bring cars on the ferry, so we can't drive sadly)
Thank you so much again for your help, I really am very grateful!
Lauren
