Travel in Irish

Most main cities and towns in Ireland can be reached by an arterial rail network with its centre in Dublin, otherwise the provincial bus service can be used. The latter primarily serves rural areas, and short journeys by bus through Irish-speaking districts provide useful opportunities for hearing the language spoken.
