- I don't really understand this.
- If the ferry came to Dun Laoghaire,
- there are trains every 15 minutes.
- If it came to Rosslare,
- 5 pounds was an incredible price.
- (If it came to Dublin port -- B&I --
- there are no trains.)
-
- Incidentally, there are always good offers
- of hotels with the ferry crossings
- (usually 2-4 nights),
- but the conditions are so complicated
- only very clever people can work them out!
