Local Transportation

For those without use of a rental car, there are a few options listed below that can help get you where you need to go on the Renvyle Peninsula:


Alumni with rental cars are encouraged to help their fellow reunion attendees and offer a lift to those in need.  A list of alumni willing to provide lifts will be shared at the reunion.


Local resident Daniel Sammon has a 7-passenger van and is offering transportation for a fee.  Contact Daniel directly at 087 260 2717 for information.

A van from Connemara Coaches has been hired to transport people home from the pubs each evening Thursday through Saturday from 10:30 - 11:30 p.m.    This will be a rather informal process for those that need a lift, so be prepared to be flexible!  And please remember to tip the driver!
