Rail trip to 'Limerick on Ice'

Journey from Nenagh

The North Tipperary Community Rail Partnership is delighted to announce the return of its popular annual community trip to Limerick on Ice. Families and groups from Nenagh, Roscrea, and Birdhill will make the journey on Saturday, January 3.

Organiser Cllr Louise Morgan Walsh described the event as “a fantastic community day out, especially for young families who want to experience their first train trip to Limerick on Ice.”

A return rail ticket costs €6 from any station along the line, and entry to Limerick on Ice is €15 - a significant saving compared to the standard skating prices of €18 for children and €20 for adults.

Cllr Morgan Walsh expressed her gratitude to Irish Rail, Limerick on Ice, and Elaine Baker for their continued support. She added that strong community participation has demonstrated the value of the rail line and contributed to increased passenger numbers.
