Transport:

 

There is a regular direct train service to Cork from Dublin and Limerick. An online timetable can be found at the Irish Rail website: http://www.irishrail.ie/home/

(According to this site the first Cork-bound train  departs from Dublin at 07.00 on Monday 1 September and arrives in Cork at 09.53.)

 

The bus routes 1, 5 and 19 serve CIT (Rossa Avenue). Of these, probably the most useful is the No.5 which runs from the main train station to CIT via Patrick Street (Cork's main thoroughfare). This also serves Jury's hotel and the guesthouses above.

See http://www.buseireann.ie/bubble.php?id=59#cork for more detailed information on local buses.

 

If travelling to CIT by car, you can take the Jack Lynch Tunnel which continues into the South Ring Road (N25). Take the exit for Bishopstown at the Bandon Road Roundabout, then a left at the next traffic lights. CIT is signposted at each junction from this point.

 

Alternatively if coming from the city centre, follow signs for West Cork (N71) until you reach Dennehy's Cross, then turn right onto Model Farm Road (R608), and left onto Rossa Avenue.
