Shuttles & Charters

The Wedding Website of Eileen VanDeMark and Aidan O'Shea
~Please carefully read, we want to make planning your trip as smooth as possible to show our sincere gratitude to those making the trip across the ocean!~ IMPORTANT NOTE: You can absolutely travel to Cavan via public bus or rental car (options explained below), at any time that suits you; however, for your convenience, we are providing & organizing a charter bus from Dublin for all our guests who would like to utilize it. This method of transportation will be a bit more convenient, as it will drop you off directly at your hotel. With all of this said, the bus leaves at 2:15 PM on Wednesday, July 8th, 2026, from Trinity College- so plan ahead if you would like to take it, otherwise, plan ahead to take public transportation. All information is elaborated below!

Shuttle

Chartered Bus from Dublin to Cavan!

July 8, 2026 2:00 pm - 2:15 pm

There will be two buses that will bring you to Cavan! The buses will be located at Trinity College, promptly leaving at 2:15 PM. The address to Trinity is College Green, Dublin 2, Ireland, and the Eircode is D02 VK74- if you type this code directly into your Map App, it will take you there. One bus will take you directly to Virginia Park Lodge (if you are staying there), and the other will take you to Crystal Cavan Hotel and Hotel Kilmore (if you are staying at either of those), so be sure to ask if you are on the right bus! To both hotels it will take about 45 minutes to 1 hour.

Travel Note

Alternative Transportation Option: Bus & Taxi Services

If you don't want to take our charter bus, or if you will get to Ireland before or after it leaves (Wednesday, July 8th at 2:15 PM), there is a bus you can take to get into town. Directions to Bus at Airport: Head to the 'Bus and Coach Park' at the airport and proceed to Zone 12, where you can catch the Bus Éireann Expressway Route 30. This bus is approximately 15 Euro and usually has WiFi available. This bus operates hourly and provides direct service to Virginia, with a journey time of approximately 1 hour and 7 minutes. The bus will drop you off at Matthew's Pub on Main Street, which is a 13-minute walk (tested and timed by the bride and groom) to Virginia Park Lodge. County Cavan does have Uber available; however, you could be waiting up to 15 minutes for a car, so if you take the bus and do not want to walk, you will want to arrange a taxi to bring you to the hotel. Virginia Taxi Service: Owen Morgan 086-251-3531 You can also get an Uber or a Taxi to either hotel from the airport, which will cost about 150 Euros.
