    Also, I am assuming that there will be taxis avalible at the airport to take us to our hotel. If this is not the case please let me know. After an overnight flight I would like as little hassel getting to the hotel as possible.

    There's a taxi rank right outside the airport, nearly always taxis there, the longest part would be the queuing up for one.

    As said above, there's nearly always taxis outside but the queues can be horrible, I'd say that would be especially painful after a long flight.

    Have you called the hotel to see if they do airport collection? Whenever my OH and I go away we usually get it. It's never that much more expensive than a taxi and we always feel so fancy. It's ridiculously convenient too.

    If the queue for the taxis is too long (I never had a problem to be honest except at summer holidays busy season) , then you can call a local taxi company to come and pick you up ...

    Just phone then from the airport phones on 01 80 80 800, or if you are using your mobile then it's : +353 1 80 80 800
    They will pick you up outside on the street on the Departures level (the lower level is Arrivals, the upper level is Departures at Dublin airport).

    Hey everyone.. Thanks for all your inputs to the OP.

    In fact, when the OP has come and gone from Dublin I'm going to change the title of this thread and make it a sticky, such has been the quality of the information & help given to a visitor in it.

    It, and your replies, can then be a reference for anyone making a visit to us.

    You can actually make it a sticky now if youd like. It would make it quicker for me to reference instead of having to flip through the threads.

    And I totally agree that all of the information has been top notch.

    I assume you will be arriving into terminal 2, taxis really shouldnt be an issue tbh, the airport is deserted most of the time. The rank is located just across the road from the terminal entrance.

    Check if there's a GAA match on over the weekend you're here. That'd be worth seeing if there's one on.

    GAA is to Ireland what NASCAR is to the USA. FYI Camaross82 ;)

    Well... My time in Ireland has come and gone. I can honestly say that I had a great time. Great weather, great booze, great people. And the sights were awesome. We went from the Dublin castle to the cliffs of Moher, and many places in between. And my beautiful wife is already trying to figure out how to get back there.

    Thanks for all the suggestions.

    Good to hear you enjoyed your holiday !
    Sounds like you saw a lot of sights, I think that's great but there are always more things to visit here ... try Donegal and Kerry next time !
