The Ballina based Senator has called on Irish Rail to provide further services ahead of Mayo’s All Ireland Quarter Final clash with Cork this weekend.

Senator Mark Duffy has called on Irish Rail to provide a special train direct to Dublin for Mayo supporters heading to Croke Park for their quarter-final against Cork this weekend.

“With the draw being made only six days out from the game, many hotels are either booked out or very expensive. Providing a special train will allow supporters to travel conveniently and affordably to support the green and red this weekend.”

Senator Duffy, who is a member of the joint Oireachtas committee for Transport added: “I hope that Irish Rail can make resources available as the special trains always add a memorable element to All Ireland games in Croke Park.”
