Flight
We recommend flying into Dublin Airport for the most straightforward commute to the venue. Kilkea is an hour outside the city. I will provide a list of transportation options from Dublin to Kilkea below. *Keep in mind if you are traveling home from Ireland to the States you will need to be at the airport extra early. You will go through customs in Ireland before you fly to the US so be sure to give yourself more time to shop and go through secrutiy. We suggest arriving 3 hours before your flight home.
