Connolly would be the nearest DART station...

Or drumcondra if you want an arrow station.

Dart is closer than the bus
Either go to Connolly or Clontarf Rd.

Connolly is closer but just by a few minutes walk.
10-15 minutes walk max, probably not even that

what's an arrow station? (ignorance, it turns out, isn't bliss after all)

Drumcondra is not a DART station. It does have an arrow service. Pearse Station to Maynooth is an Arrow service afaik, I'm happy to be corrected.

Think of Arrow service as a fast commuter service.

I'm in Drumcondra and never use Drumcondra Station. Probably faster walking to Croke Park from Connolly than hanging around for a commuter train to Drumcondra

The 123 Bus goes fairly close to it, from Walkinstown, James' Hospital, Dame Street (at Little Caesers) or O'Connell Street.

Get off at the Ballybough Rd/Clonliffe Rd stop, and your about a 5 minute walk from the Hill 16/Cusack Stand Entrances. Another 3 minutes would bring you around to the Hogan Stand side.

Go here

and select the 123 from the Drop Down to see where to go, but it's basically a walk down Clonliffe Rd.

Arrow was a brand name. I don't think it's in use anymore.

Drumcondra is a Maynooth Line station.

I'd say that the quickest way would be to get the dart to Connolly and walk up to it. Clontarf Road station is further away than Connolly.

Folks:

It's absolutely no problem to go from Dun Laoghaire to Drumcondra, which is very close to Croke Park. As one poster said, check the Irish Rail site and simply put the above two stations in to find the frequent (and very easy) routings.

From Dun Laoghaire, you simply take the Dart to Connolly. Then, in the same area of Connolly (I think both trains come in on platforms 5-8), take the Maynooth line to the first stop which is Drumcondra. My family does this ALL the time and it is no problem. Can't say for sure on w/ends, but try the Irish Rail site.

I think there is also a direct train from Drumcondra to Dun Laoghaire in the mornings on weekends (not sure about this though).

The Maynooth line does operate at weekends, however don't be expecting a frequent service. Plan the journey properly in order to avoid an hour wait for the next train should you just miss one.

The 746 goes from Dun Laoghaire to the Airport.
Goes straight past Croker so you could get off the bus at the Big Tree.

You could get the 46A from Dun Laoghaire to Mountjoy Square and walk.

You'd wanna be careful getting the 'Arrow' service for the time being. Drivers along that line have been causing some disruption the past couple of days now.....

Yup. But also today there was a fault on that line and all trains out that direction were cancelled.
