  • Ireland does not have zip codes- just counties 
  • Need LEAP CARD to pay for local transport
  • EVERYTHING runs out of Dublin- tours, buses trains etc 
    • Often no connections in other parts of the country 
    • Example: No connection Galway to Belfast- had to stop in Dublin first 
    • Main Dublin train stations: Heuston & Connolly
