Train/Bus Travel In Ireland

What is the most effective way to get to the following locations? Train or bus? I understand the website irishrail.ie can help with train travel but what about buses?

Dublin (city center) --> Galway
Galway --> Cork
Cork --> Dublin (preferably close to the airport, not to the city center)

Dublin (city center) --> Galway

  • BY TRAIN

Galway --> Cork

  • BY BUS (More frequent and I think some are direct.)

Cork --> Dublin (preferably close to the airport, not to the city center)

Don't miss that there are other bus companies besides Bus Eireann! Local Link has expanded greatly in the past six months - they may have alternatives for you!

Thank you for the advice! Will we need to purchase bus/train tickets in advance or can we buy the day of?
