Iarnrod Eireann- Irish Rail - 'The Journey's On Us' - 5,000 Trips!
Iarnród Éireann Irish Rail has today (Thursday, 12th June) launched the 2014 programme for "The Journey’s On Us", an initiative to support organisations and groups in the voluntary, community, sporting and charity sector.
"The Journey's On Us" will provide 100 groups with a free group travel return journey for up to 50 people per group during 2014, meaning 5,000 free journeys are on offer across the company's services. The travel facilities will be ideal in particular for organisations bringing a group to a special event, or as part of a specific support to the members of the group which requires travel.
The company is inviting all community, voluntary, sporting and charity groups to apply for the 100 group travel trips available. Entry forms are available at all Iarnród Éireann stations or online at www.irishrail.ie/journeys . Entry forms can be filled out online, emailed to journeys@irishrail.ie or by post to Corporate Communications, Iarnród Éireann, Connolly Station, Dublin 1. The closing date for receipt of entries is Monday July 14th, at 16.30hrs.
Last year, over 750 groups applied for the scheme, and organisations
ranging from Men's Sheds to choirs, Special Olympics to Girl Guides, and
groups representing youth and elderly, benefited from "The Journey's On
Us".
