Transportation Back to Dublin
10:15 am
There is no rush to depart from us, but we do want to provide transportation for anyone who needs it from the Glenlo Abbey back to Dublin. This transport will make two stops, one stop at the airport for anyone who plans to leave promptly and a second stop in Dublin for anyone who anticipates staying in Ireland longer. The bus will drop all guests off at Merrion Square in front of the Merrion Hotel - please make your own arrangements to travel to your local destination from there. Please note - while we will try to get everyone to their flights on time, the bus will most likely not be back to Dublin until 1p on Friday June 2nd.
