This may be of interest to you or family in the UK who may visit or transit through to Norn Irn.



A free rail scheme, developed by Fáilte Ireland in conjunction with Iarnród Éireann, now is available for all over 66s visiting Ireland.



Overseas visitors aged 66 or over can reserve free rail travel by accessing http://www.discoverireland.com or calling a local LoCall number to arrange for a Golden Trekker Reservation, which can be used to book their free Golden Trekker Tickets when in Ireland.



The Golden Trekker Tickets will take the form of a four-day Trekker ticket, or a sequence of 4-one day tracker tickets depending on the length of stay, providing visitors with unrestricted rail travel for a set period. Each 4-day trekker ticket is worth €100.



The scheme provides for free travel to all tourists to Ireland aged 66 or over, regardless of nationality or country of residence.



It's not every day you get something for nothing.

Liz you said it wrong. You should have said, "In 10 years time I will be able to do that"

Not much for free in Ireland anymore, Derm. The Irish Government is shovelling billions of taxpayers money into Zombie banks and bailing out their friends, the property developers and specualtors - €22 billion in total to Anglo-Irish Bank alone, according to today's announcement. A huge debt for future generations.....
