Evening,

Re value for money etc:

Remember we Brits are getting 20% less for our money due to the low exchange rate with the Euro compared to last year.
I purchased a 5 day rover at 145.00 euros.
Eating out and buying drinks was expensive compared to UK.
What was cheap was entrance fees to places like Kilkenny Castle, Westport House etc and always with a guided tour.
The drinks on the trains were on a par with the UK.

Re the Limerick Junction issue, I noticed platform 3 can't be used anymore, so everything on the main line has to use platform 1. is this a permanent thing, or are they planning to build a platform next to the south bound line?

I take it the line from Waterford to Limerick will be upgraded before a 2 hour service is introduced, come to think of it I did see a couple of ballast trains in loops along the line.
