Irish Rail to put on extra trains for Musgrave Park gigs
Irish Rail will run additional services for the concerts in Musgrave Park (Virgin Media Park) this week. The run of gigs starts on Thursday with Macklemore and Rudimental before The Corrs take to the stage on Friday with support from Natalie Imbruglia and Imelda May. Saturday sees the Stereophonics perform at the Ballyphehane venue. In a post on social media on Wednesday, Irish Rail confirmed that extra trains would be put on to help attendees get home from the gigs. The additional services will be in place for the Cork to Cobh route as well as the Cork to Midleton and Cork to Mallow routes. It is, as of yet, unclear if Irish Rail will put on extra trains on Saturday for fans travelling to the Munster hurling final in the Gaelic Grounds. Labour TD for Cork North Central Eoghan Kenny urged them to do so, saying: 'Rebels from across the county will be winging their way to Limerick this Saturday for what will be a fantastic game between Cork and Limerick in this year's Munster Hurling Final. 'It's a very special day in the Irish sporting calendar and will be attended by fans up and down the county, which is why I've written to Irish Rail to ask for additional rail services to be provided this weekend. 'Trains from 9.30am are totally booked out and that's before we even consider people changing the time of their return ticket. 'The demand is there and the obvious thing to do is to put on some extra services to get fans to the stadium safely so that as many people as possible can hopefully see Cork lift the Mick Mackey Cup.'
