Ireland - coach/bus with wifi
 
Our family is planning an Ireland vacation this summer, and would like to spend part of our time on a guided coach/bus tour. The problem is that my husband will need to have internet access a couple times a day to check on things at work (wish we could leave it all behind, alas....) Does anyone know of a coach/bus company that has wi-fi on board?

By 'family' do you mean w/ children? If so, very few guided coach tours are appropriate for children. They are often geared to senior citizens. And getting luggage out in the hall at 0600 or 0700 and boarding the bus at 0730 or 0800 is tough day after day.

Are you considering any specific tour(s)?

Yeah, not worried about children.

Just buy a dongle from any phone shop

>><i>Yeah, not worried about children.</i><<

But the tour might worry about <i>them . . .

Why not check in the morning at the hotel, and then at night?

Jan - no worries.
Michel - Sadly, at least at this stage of things, vacations include needing to be connected. Better than no vacation at all! :-)
Flann - that might be what we have to do. Thanks.

Would still love suggestions if anyone has them.
