Fianna Fáil Deputy Michael Cahill and Councillor Tommy Cahill have today expressed their delight at the confirmation of an additional train service to and from Dublin this Sunday, ahead of the highly anticipated All-Ireland Quarter Final between Kerry and Armagh.

Following sustained engagement and pressure from both the Deputy and Councillor over the past number of days, Iarnród Éireann has now agreed to operate an additional return service – ensuring that more Kerry fans can travel to the capital and back to support their team on the big day.
“We’ve been flat out working with Iarnród Éireann in recent days to get these extra services in place,” said Deputy Michael Cahill. “The demand from fans has been extraordinary, and rightly so. Kerry supporters travel in their droves, and they deserve proper transport options.”
Councillor Tommy Cahill added: “We’ve been inundated with messages from constituents who couldn’t get a seat on the original services. We’re delighted that our calls have been heard, and even more delighted that this will allow more fans to be in Croke Park when Kerry send Armagh packing!” (he laughed).
Tickets for the additional Sunday morning train to Dublin and the evening return service will go live at 4pm today, Wednesday, June 26th, and fans are strongly encouraged to act fast.
“We’re urging everyone who wants to travel by train to log on to the Iarnród Éireann website as soon as the tickets go live, or to head to their local ticket office if they prefer,” Deputy Cahill said. “Seats will be snapped up quickly.”
The Cahills noted that the response from the public so far has been phenomenal, with Kerry supporters clearly answering the recent pleas from players David Clifford and Paul Geaney, who urged fans to get behind the team and travel to Dublin in numbers.
“This county is steeped in football tradition, and it’s no surprise that when the players asked for support, the people of Kerry listened,” said Councillor Cahill. “We’re proud to help make that journey possible for more supporters.”
This latest announcement builds on Deputy Cahill’s earlier success in securing extra capacity and a return service for supporters. The newly confirmed train is the result of persistent and coordinated efforts by both Michael and Tommy Cahill, ensuring that fan demand is matched with proper public transport provision.
“This is about ensuring Kerry fans can be there to back their team, and that our county is treated fairly when it comes to national events,” Deputy Cahill concluded. “We’ll continue to do all we can to represent the needs of our people, on and off the pitch.”
