Getting To & From Cork City

For directions to the Pharmacy Building, please see the UCC Campus Map (No.70, Grid E6)

From Airports:

If you are flying into Cork Airport, there should be ample taxis available on the taxi rank to take you to your accommodation or to UCC. There are also bus services to the city centre which leave from outside the terminal building.

If you are flying into Dublin Airport and travelling on to Cork, we recommend taking an Aircoach or GoBus from outside the Arrivals hall at the airport. Tickets (single or return) can be pre- booked at https://www.aircoach.ie/ and https://gobus.ie, selecting Dublin Airport as point of origin and Cork Patrick’s Quay as destination.

The drop-off point is at Patrick’s Quay, right in the city centre in Cork (but not the main bus depot). It is near the Metropole Hotel and while there is no taxi rank, there should be taxis available to flag down.

By Bus:
If you are arriving in Cork by bus, you will arrive at Parnell Place which is also in the city centre. This is very close to Clayton Cork City hotel. There is a taxi rank available here if your accommodation is further away, or to get a taxi directly to UCC. Alternatively, the 205 city bus service runs via Parnell Place through the city to UCC via the Western Road (where the River Lee Hotel and Lancaster Lodge are situated).

By Train:
The train station in Cork is a little out from the city centre but there are taxis available at the rank and the 205 city bus service runs from the station through the city to UCC via the Western Road (where the River Lee Hotel and Lancaster Lodge are situated)

Taxis to and from accommodation and the meeting venue:
Taxis can be hailed on the street in the city centre, booked at hotel/guesthouse reception or you can contact a cab firm directly. Some names and numbers are: ABC Cabs 00353-21- 4961961; Cork Taxi Co-Op 00353-21-4272222
