There's a bus every night from Cardiff (leaving at 22:25) arriving in Killarney at 13:05 and Tralee at 13:45. It's a half hour walk from the stadium to the bus station. You are only on the boat for about four hours though so sleep might be a bit of a challenge, plus you don't really want to be leaving immediately after the end of the match.

Anyway, if you get completely stuck, it's an option.

Also, the Tuesday 17:00 Bristol to Cork flight arriving 18:25 with Aer Fungus is currently £86.99. It's not that cheap and it might be a bit late into Cork for your liking but it's not completely extortionate or completely unsuitable either. The last bus to Tralee doesn't leave Cork til half eight, so you should make it. Even if that flight in was delayed, you'd still be okay once you get on the half seven bus from the airport to Cork city centre. Hell, even if the flight was further delayed, you could always get a taxi from the airport down to the bus station in Cork.

There's an early Bristol to Dublin flight and a few hours later a flight to Kerry. The total cost there is under €120 arriving at 13:45.

Bristol 08:05 - 09:05 Dublin Ryanair €74
Dublin 12:40 - 13:45 Kerry Aer Lingus €43

You forgot to draw a map to his house there, SD
"Perhaps the reason that they did not consider the worst, was because discussion of such cases would have cast suspicion on the planner as being a "saboteur". Paranoia was rampant throughout."

There is a bus that goes direct from Cardiff to Tralee? That's mental!

Anyone else on FR662 on the Sunday arr BHX @ 07:35 and return on the tuesday on FR 669 DEP BHX @ 20:25?

If there are a few interested I'll have a look at arranging a Transfer. I'd imagine to make it feasible around 15 - 20 would be needed.

There's certainly a London to Cork bus via Cardiff and the Rosslare ferry. It may go on to Tralee or you might have to change in Cork. The timetable seems to suggest it's direct but I could be wrong on that. It could be the case that the bus in the UK takes you to the ferry, you get on the boat, and you get on a different bus in Rosslare, but it is definitely marketed, organised and run as a direct connection.

Anyway, you'd be mad to go that way from Tralee to London (whatever about Cardiff), especially with Ryanair flying Kerry to Stansted.

Flybe did the same for me, changing my times to a 9pm departure.
And they did it just last week - 3 weeks ahead of our game ;-(
Good job I am arriving one day ahead!

There used to be a Westport - London bus once a week to be fair. I don't think it runs anymore. You'd see it at the bus stop in Westport with London written on the front and it just seemed utterly bizarre.

You would have to imagine the lads in the bus station in London, while looking at signs & buses  for 'Birmingham' 'Liverpool'  'Manchester' 'Glasgow' etc would probably have found it even more bizarre to be looking at one that said 'Westport' on the front all the same.
