There are a number of committed and dedicated people around the country (North & South) who organise private coach transport from their communities and parishes, with pickup points nationwide.

Organised travel and contact details for  the   One Day Retreat   are listed below when they are received by Lough Derg to help people find an organiser close to their location.   Organised travel and contact details for the   Three Day Pilgrimage     can be found here.
​
We post details of groups and their organiser once they make a booking and give us permission to share their details on our website to support people who are seeking transport to Lough Derg.

​Bookings are typically posted here during the Spring ahead of the new Season which begins in May.

If you are an international traveller and would like to find out more about public transport from the airports in Ireland or Northern Ireland we are able to support you with your plans. Please call us on +353 (0) 71 9861518
