Hi Vivien,
I love that you're planning to explore Ireland by
public transport! 🚍🚂🫶
You certainly can reach Dingle by bus, you just need to catch a local bus for the last part of your journey, rather than one of the big bus operators. The best way to research your connection would be the
TFI (Transport for Ireland) journey planner. You will see that there are possible connections via Limerick and Tralee / Limerick and Killarney / Cork and Tralee, the most frequent ones stopping at Tralee where you can take the
local bus service 275. (Make sure to adjust the "Timetable validity dates" here to see the correct travel times, especially on weekends.)
Check the journey planner for your return trip as well - the fastest option might be the local bus service 275 back to Tralee, then a
train to Dublin Heuston station followed by an
airport shuttle bus.
I hope this helps! Feel free to reply should you need more travel tips - or of course if you'd like to tell us more about your plans in
Dingle! 😊
