Travel
Dublin airport has good links to most cities in Europe through Ryanair, Aer Lingus, and other airlines. The Aircoach and Dublin Bus have connections from the airport to Leeson St. Bridge and Baggot St. Bridge, both very close to Burlington Road.
Dublin is also well-served by public transport from most towns in Ireland, north and south.The workshop will take place at 10 Burlington Road, Dublin 4, D04 C932. It is south of Dublin city centre, located within walking distance of the listed nearby hotels.
Bus: Use the Dublin Bus route-planner and search the route to Stop 780 (Waterloo Road, Junction Burlington Road).
Accommodation
A list of nearby hotels, for which early booking is advised as Dublin is a major tourist destination is given below. Advice in connection with the workshop can be had from Eileen Flood (mkids@cp.dias.ie). The best option is to look online at e.g. trivago.ie or a hotel booking website, e.g. booking.com.For example try this search on trivago for places within 1.5km of Burlington Road on Thursday night.
- Nearby hotels and guesthouses: Mespil Hotel, Leeson Bridge Guest House, Abbeyleigh House, Waterloo House, Lansdowne Hotel, Burlington Hotel, Herbert Park Hotel.
Note that many participants will be staying at the Mespil Hotel
