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!

We strongly encourage you to obtain travel insurance to cover all of your costs (not just flights) if illness or another emergency prevents you from attending Annual Alumni Week.

Shannon Airport Hotel: If flying out early in the morning from Shannon, the Park Inn by Radisson Shannon Airport is a convenient option, as it is located across the car park from the airport.

Stay Left! Even while you’re walking, remember traffic travels on the left side of the road—so look left, then right and left again before you cross!

Mobility Devices: If you need to rent a mobility device, The Mobility Shop delivers all over Ireland. When you book accommodation, let them know that a delivery is expected, and make sure all parties know the drop off / collection agreement.

Wi-Fi is readily available in public places, including transportation, and on campus at the university. We strongly suggest downloading WhatsApp and joining our Broadcast group (link is in your confirmation email).
