There was a notice in a box on the scrolling segment of the web page for at least five or six days. The version on May 4th read as under

"Iarnród Éireann is providing extra services for fans travelling to see Dublin battle it out with Roscommon in Tullamore on Sunday 6th May in the All Ireland U21 football final. Throw - In 14:00hrs.

Extra Services are as follows;

Depart Dublin Heuston at 11:30hrs and arrive Tullamore at 12:33hrs.
Depart Tullamore at 16:34hrs and arrive Dublin Heuston at 17:45hrs.

Depart Castlerea at 11:25hrs and arrive Tullamore at 12:45hrs."

The Castlerea special appears to have been subsequently cancelled.

The "specials" for Dublin supporters appear to have been a partially re-instated 1130 Heuston to Galway (cancelled in May BH brochure) and the regular 1505 from Galway.

In contrast give-away fares from Cork to Thurles produced the following in respect of the Cork v Kilkenny match on May 6th.

"Due to increased demand and support for this fixture, we have introduced additional services as follows;
Departing Cork at 10:45hrs and arriving in Thurles at 12:15hrs
Departing Thurles at 18:39hrs and arriving in Cork at 20:05hrs"
