 how
to get there
The island of Ireland is surrounded
by water! The Atlantic Ocean separates the west coast of Ireland
from North America. The Irish Sea separates Ireland's east
coast from England and Wales. Dublin, on the east coast, can
be reached by air or sea. Regular ferries connect Dublin
Port and Dun
Laoghaire with Liverpool in England, and Holyhead in Wales.
Dublin Airport
is 10km north of the city centre and has connections or direct
flights to and from airports worldwide. There are frequent
connecting buses to the city centre. Please note that many
buses indicate the city centre by using the Irish language
version of the centre - "AN LAR". Aircoach,
a private bus company also operates a coach service connecting
Dublin Airport with the city centre. Some Aircoach buses pass
UCD's Belfield campus, you should check the route with the
driver at the airport. Taxis are also readily available. A
typical taxi fare from Dublin Airport to the Congress venue
should be EUR 30 - 40. A similar fare will apply from the
airport to Dublin's city centre.
The city is served by two main railway
stations (Connolly and Heuston) linking Dublin to all
other Irish cities. Connolly is based right in the city centre
with a LUAS
(tram) connection giving easy access to Heuston station.
