Dublin airport parking or transport?

Hi, we (2 adults, 2 kids) are flying from Dublin airport in a few weeks and will be away for 15 nights. So far I've found airport parking for about 75Euro upwards and hotel/parking combo deals for about 150Euro upwards. These both seem quite pricey. I don't yet know how much a taxi would be but we're in South Down (N Ireland) so I'd guess £50+?
I don't desperately want to do the Belfast - Dublin airport bus as the kids are aged 2 & 5 and we'd need to catch the bus at about 3am on the way down to the airport (plus getting a taxi to Newry to catch the bus).
I have read the guide here to airport parking and can't beat the prices above.....
Any ideas for alternative options or ways to do it cheaper. I don't think we can ask a friend to drive us as I can't think of anybody with a big enough car....
Thanks in advance :beer:
