Rental Cars

Rental cars are available from the Dublin Airport.  Ireland is a left-drive country, as the signs in the rental car will remind you.  Although the venue is outside the city center, taxis are plentiful.  If you do not plan on doing a lot of driving, and if you are not comfortable with driving on the left, and dealing with traffic circles, we recommend you take a taxi.

If you wish to drive, directions from the airport to the hotel are available here.

Taxi

Taxis are available from both the airport for about 40 euro, and from the city center, about 25 euro.
