    Based on the Dublin Airport website it will be Dublin Bus. There's also dedicated AIRLINK & AIRCOACH services
  • Dont get the Airport Shuttle bus that goes to all the train stations and hotels. It is more expensive as itr is aimed at tourists. Get the ordinary Dublin Bus which you can get outside the arrivals. Dont know what number bus it is but ask anybody and they will tell you. I am always amused at Dublin Airport as the shuttle bus has the route number 747 !:T

    When we were there a few a years ago, four of us, it was cheaper to take a taxi straight to the hotel, after all, its not that far from the
    airport.

    Dublin has a great bus service ad lots of buses go to and from the airport to city centre for a few Euros. Don't pay for a taxi (over 20 Euros) or the shuttle (6 Euros).
