Bus and Train Timetables
Iarnród Éireann
Ennis train station is adjacent to the bus station, and is the terminus of the west‑bound line that passes through Limerick.
Unfortunately, almost all the train routes that service the west of Ireland come from and go to the east! Therefore, visitors coming to the Summer School from Dublin will be well catered for but for anyone already in the west of the country, buses or a hire car are often the preferred option.
Up to date prices and timetables are available on the Iarnród Éireann website.
Bus Éireann
Ennis is very close to Shannon Airport, and is a fairly major hub for bus services. The bus station its self is located within a few minutes walk of the town centre but, if required, taxis should be easily found at most times. Various bus and coach services are service the town throughout the week from major cities, airports and train stations.
For accurate pricing and timetables please visit the Bus Éireann website.

Merriman Summer School 2009
Every generation has decisions to take about its future, its priorities, its place in the world. For this generation of political leaders, policy makers and citizens these decisions appear more complex than they have done for a long time. The quickly assumed certainty of the so‑called Celtic Tiger period has given way to a worrying uncertainty about tomorrow. What are the challenges we face?
