    The lay-by by the RWY28 threshold is still probably most popular spot, although theres a large fence which can be a hindrance to photos...

    Dublin is pretty much busy all the time, most hte US flights depart by mid-day though

    The bank to the left of RWY 28 (on the turn in to the long term car park) is a grand spot as well.
