Iarnrod Eireann has warned passengers intending to travel by rail this weekend to book their tickets fast as trains are beginning to sell out.
Over 200,000 customers will travel on Intercity rail services alone during the Bank Holiday as Irish Rail prepares for its busiest weekend since the pandemic.
They said that a number of trains on the Cork and Kerry to Dublin routes have already sold out for Thursday 2 and Saturday, as well as trains to and from GAA fixtures across the weekend.

Irish Rail will be operating "additional services where possible" and said that DART, Dublin Commuter and Cork Commuter services are also expected to see high demand.
A spokesperson for Iarnrod Eireann said: “The June weekend really feels like the weekend when the whole country is celebrating a return to better times, with so many sports, cultural and music events taking place.
"We want everyone who travels with us on Intercity services to do so in comfort, so we urge all intending to travel to book immediately.
"These trains will sell out, and with rail fares now 20% lower following public transport fare cuts in recent weeks, customers will be able to avoid both congestion and higher fuel costs by booking today.”
