How to get there
from Dublin Airport
By Taxi / Car
There is usually a good supply of taxi cabs lined up outside the Arrivals hall in Dublin airport. As you exit the arrivals hall, turn right. The taxi queue is within 100 metres of your position. The National College of Ireland (NCI) in the Irish Financial Services Centre (commonly abbreviated 'IFSC') is easy to find, but work on a new tram line nearby has necessitated a detour for cars, which your taxi driver may not be aware of. The journey by car should take approximately 45 minutes in light to moderate traffic, and cost in the region of EUR 35. At peak times, the journey time and cost will be considerably higher. More...
By bus
Dublin Bus operates two express services from the Airport - routes 747 and 784. Both services pass through BusAras, the Central Bus Station. The original venue, HEAnet's offices, is 5 minutes walk from this station. The new venue, NCI, is just a couple of blocks away. Alighting from the bus, exit the station and walk east towards the IFSC complex. The main pedestrian road through the IFSC is Mayor Street. NCI is on Mayor Street.
