Fly to Dublin Airport (DUB/EIDW) and transfer to city with Aircoach.
Aircoach-Tickets can be bought online, at the airport or just walk up to the bus (cash or contactless); the
ticket is about 10 Eur to the city centre. Follow “Bus” signs after exit across the bridge, turn right to go downstairs. Ticket booth is directly at the end of the stairs. They’ll show you the stop and the driver will check tickets so you’re not entering the wrong one.
Dublin provides tram and bus. The conference venue can be reached via the stops 768 and 764 - see LocalBus for details on walking between those stations and venue.
Parking at UCD (conference venue) isn’t arranged - and unlikely to happen over proposed cost (25E/h). So park at your acco and take the bus, please.
