Shannon Airport is the closest to the University of Limerick — only a 30-minute taxi drive away.
Dublin Airport is just over a two-hour bus trip from campus.
In keeping with our sustainability efforts, we encourage you to use public transportation for Annual Alumni Week and not rent a car. It’s quite easy to get to and around Limerick using public transport!
