Having done the trip, I can confirm that the bus exists, but only because I saw it when it arrived when I was already at the ferry port. I took a taxi. 6.60, so it didn't exactly kill me.
The bus stop outside the train station in Swansea was out of action because of road works, but even so, there was no indication of where a bus to the ferry could be had.
On the plus side, the 223 bus from Ringaskiddy into Cork was pretty much at the end of the gangway at the other end.
It's actually not a bad trip if you exclude the getting from Swansea train station to Swansea ferry port.. About 70 quid for the one way from London to Cork. Leave London at 5:45pm. 3 hours on the train from Paddington. Onto the ferry, a few drinks in the bar and off to sleep in a cabin. You then wake up in Cork at 8am the next morning. While the travel seems long, you sleep through most of it.
