I will be staying at MotelOne in Dublin for 3 nights, then Galway at the Maldron Hotel Sandy Point for 3 nights. Please correct me, but I understand that with a regular leap card I can use it for bus service in Galway as well? I am thinking that I wouldn’t use it as much in Dublin as I am city center, but Galway may be a different experience? Any help with this decision would be appreciated. The 5€ cost for the card isn’t going to change my lifestyle hopefully!
