Download the Irish Rail app and book through there. Also recommend the FreeNow app for cabs.

Belfast to Dublin you have to book with Translink (Northern Ireland Railways), and can only be booked from 30 days before travel.
No one can book any sooner, in that direction.
You can only book with Irish Rail from Dublin to Belfast, not vv.
You arrive at Dublin Connolly, then transfer to Heuston by LUAS tram, for the train to Galway which you book with Irish Rail.

Rail Ninja is a scam. Avoid. At all costs.
Go to www.seat61.com where you will find answers to anything you ever wanted to know about train travel.
You can of course just go to the station in Belfast and buy a ticket, and go.

We used irishrail.ie, the official site, for roundtrip Dublin to Galway this April. It was easy to navigate.

Thanks so much everyone.
We're only travelling in Oct, so am I correct in saying that I can only book 90 days out, so can only look in July?
thanks
