Traveling to Port

Transportation to and from Dun Laoghaire Port

Dun Laoghaire has excellent transport links to the rest of the country, with Dublin's light rail network stopping adjacent to the port, frequent buses running from the terminal to Dublin city and county, and nearby motorways linking motorists with the main arteries of Ireland. Ferry crossings include frequent sailings to Holyhead, on both regular and fast ferries.

Those who are arriving by car should drive out the N11 from the centre of Dublin city, driving through Donnybrook and out past Stillorglin, all the while following the signage for the ferry port.

There is a local rail network which connects Dun Laoghaire directly with Dublin City and many of the surrounding areas. The train network, known as DART, departs every 5 to 10 minutes from beside the port, and runs to the city centre. Passengers should alight at Connolly station if they wish to connect with nationwide trains or buses.
