BY PUBLIC TRANSPORT Coming from Dublin City Centre: you can either take the Luas line (which leaves from the top of Grafton Street on Dublin’s Southside of the City). Take the Luas to Milltown, as you leave the station turn right and immediately left up Temple Road, as you reach the top of Temple Road you will see a small turn to your right. This is the side entrance to Trinity Hall (white gates at the end – key access required). If the white gate is locked you will need to keep coming around the corner to the main entrance (otherwise you may be able to get in the white gates behind a resident as they enter). The short walk from the Luas through Dublin’s exclusive residential districts of Dartry is less than 10 minutes. Alternatively, you can take the 140 bus. Most bus drivers know Trinity Hall at this stage. The nearest stop for the 140 is at Palmerstown Park – beside Trinity Hall. This is the Terminus for the 140. Coming from the Airport: You can either take a taxi directly to Trinity Hall – our address is Dartry Road, Upper Rathmines. The approx cost of a taxi is €40.00. There is no direct bus from the airport to Trinity Hall. On arrival at the airport, there is a selection of buses available to take you into the city (i.e. 747, 748), most of these leave from the left-hand side of the doors on the arrivals level ramp, the journey can take between 30 and 60 minutes depending on the traffic, and the number of stops the bus has to make along the way. The frequency of buses is about every 15 minutes, cost approx €5.00 one way, ask the driver to let you off at O’Connell Street. Alternatively, you could take the privately owned ‘AIRCOACH’ bus directly to the City Centre. This bus departs from outside the carpark – you will need to walk through the carpark building which is in front of you as you exit through the arrival doors the costs is €7.00 one way or €12.00 return depart every 20 minutes and 10 at peak times. This bus stops less frequently. Ask the driver to let you off at O’Connell Street. The bus will stop outside the Gresham Hotel. When you are on O’Connell St, you can catch the 140 bus which will drop you off right outside Trinity Hall. Stay on the same side of the road, but you will need to walk a few hundred meters towards the Spire on O’ Connell Street, you should pass two bus stops before you reach the correct one, bus stop number 6059. When you see the bus approaching, you will need to stick out your hand to let the bus driver know that you want him to stop. Bus stop signs will also have the bus numbers printed on them so you can check if you are at the right stop. This journey will take 20 – 30 minutes depending on traffic and will cost €1.80. You will be getting off at the very last stop (Palmerstown Park). Cross the road and you will be on Dartry Road, Trinity Hall is located on the left-hand side of the road, roughly 100 meters from the bus stop.
