New Rail Sail from Dublin and Cork
GREEN PARTY MEPs have welcomed a new ‘SailRail’ route that will combine a ferry and train ticket for travellers going to France from Ireland.
Two companies, Irish Ferries and Brittany Ferries, will facilitate the routes from Dublin and Cork to Cherboug and Roscoff in France.
Previously, Irish Ferries required passengers to book a ferry and rail ticket separately, and could later avail to a 10% discount on their ferry booking, costing a total of €110-130 – excluding the refund and booking fees.

The ticket combines the cost of a ferry and rail ticket, which the MEPs hope will incentivise “low-carbon” travel.
