Because the country is only about the size of the state of Pennsylvania in the United States, travelers can easily discover Ireland by using the rail and bus systems. The Connolly Station is the terminal in Dublin for trains arriving from Northern Ireland and for boat trains connecting with the Irish ferries that sail from the port of Rosslare, south of Dublin, to the French ports of Cherbourg and Le Harve. West of city center on the River Liffey, Heuston Station serves as the departure point for day excursions to Cork, Galway, Kilkenny, and Killarney. Eurail passes are accepted for rail travel in the Republic of Ireland, but not in Northern Ireland. The BritRail Pass + Ireland is accepted in both the Republic of Ireland and Northern Ireland. © 2009, The Globe Pequot Press, LaVerne Ferguson-Kosinski Information by Europe by Eurail
