Irish Citylink is delighted to announce the addition of two new daily return services on its popular Castlebar–Dublin / Dublin Airport route, strengthening direct connectivity between the West of Ireland and the capital.

Approved by the National Transport Authority (NTA), this service enhancement reflects Irish Citylink’s ongoing commitment to providing accessible, high-frequency, and dependable transport options for passengers across Ireland.

What’s Changing?

From Sunday, 24th May 2026, customers travelling on this route can benefit from:

• Two additional daily return services
• Increased service frequency between Castlebar, Dublin City, and Dublin Airport
• Improved scheduling to support both early departures and later return journeys

Why This Matters

This route plays a vital role in connecting regional communities to Ireland’s capital and main international gateway. With these new services, passengers can enjoy:

• More frequent airport connections for domestic and international travel
• Greater convenience for business and city commuters
• Improved flexibility for students and weekend travellers
• Seamless access to Dublin’s transport hub and onward connections

The expanded timetable makes it easier than ever to travel for work, study, travel, or leisure—while maintaining the comfort and reliability customers expect from Irish Citylink.
