I can't imagine how much it much have sucked before the Port Tunnel was built. Completed in 2006…read moreand originally only for trucks (lorries), it carries the M50 motorway under ground for 2.8 miles (4.5 kilometers). It's a tremendous boon for access to the Dublin airport. I got to enjoy the tunnel twice on the Dublin Express bus. Two tunnels of two lanes each, the lowest point is more than 98 feet below. It's the fourth longest urban motorway tunnel in Europe. Amazingly, there are telephone signal repeaters so my phone worked great even if the GPS got a little confused. During rush hour, the toll is €12. Off peak, it's an easy €3.50.

In theory it is suppose to make the North to South journey swifter and more futuristic! But, come on, this is Ireland, and it does neither of these things. It opened March 5th 2007 and a few hours later had to be shut! But, still, it is a pretty cool road. It is 4.5km long and is the largest ever roads transportation project in Ireland and I hope they learnt their lesson and will never attempt something like this again! Two 'one way' tubes connect Dublin Port to the M1 and the National Roads network via the M50 at Coolock. The toll is 3-10euro each way depending on day and time and can be paid at a cash booth or at a coin machine or in advance online.

Dublin's Luas (Gaelic for "Speed") is just as good as any mass transportation network there is. The trams are clean, modern, efficient and speedy. The stops seem to be more targeted for the locals than the tourists but they work fine. Ticket kiosks are easy to understand and if you purchase and put value on a Leap card, you'll save a bunch and not have to be concerned with tickets. Just tap and go plus they work on the buses. I've not been asked to verify my ticket. I am sure that they do check them, but I've not seen it happen. The Green Line (of course it's green - this is Ireland!) opened in 2004 and with the addition of the Red Line a few years later, there are now 67 stations and enough miles of track to host a marathon. With stations across the city, the Red and Green lines get you just about anywhere except the airport. For that, you need a bus. Like lots of cities, Dublin's International Airport is a good ways from downtown. I felt as safe on the Dublin Luas as I did on any other metro anywhere.

I took the Luas tram to get around Dublin. Luas is the Gaelic word for speed. The tram is very…read moresimple and easy to navigate. There are only two lines, a Green Line and a Red Line. The two intersect each other in a simple cross shape, so it's impossible to get lost. Just make sure you are going in the right direction. Green basically runs north to south, and Red runs West to East. The lines also connect to commuter trains that will get you to further places outside the city. For example, I was able to transfer over to the DART train to visit the village of Howth.

Even returning to a red sunset and stopping off anywhere for a stroll along the coast(especially between Dun Laoghaire and Booterstown). Keep an eye out for the odd bit of poetry printed around the inside walls of your carriage, and more recently, the occasional massive billboard with prints from Rasher. The DART supports art, apparently. Don't forget though, no matter how much more comfortable it is, ní do chosa suíochán!

It was a very dirty bus inside and the windows. When we reached Cork and our bags were unloaded there was oil all over our bags, as well as many others. The oil smelled of gasoline and the fabric of our suitcases absorbed in the fabric and zipper fabric. Luckily we did not have any major damage to our clothes but it took some time cleaning it up (the last thing you want to deal with after a long day of travel). We would recommend this option if you're trying to stay within a lower budget. Otherwise the train or renting a car were much better options.
