Corporate Event Transport in Dublin

Dublin is a major European conference and corporate events city, with the Convention Centre Dublin (CCD) at Spencer Dock consistently ranked among the top purpose-built conference centres in Europe. The city's tech sector (Dublin is the European headquarters for Google, Meta, Microsoft, LinkedIn, and many others) generates a substantial year-round demand for delegate shuttles, campus transfer coaches, and conference transport. Group transport between the airport, hotels, and conference venues is central to managing large events smoothly.

The main Dublin conference venues range from city-centre (CCD Spencer Dock, Mansion House Dawson Street, RDS Ballsbridge) to out-of-town (Citywest Conference Centre in Saggart, 20 kilometres south-west; Croke Park Conference Centre on Jones Road). We provide dedicated shuttle fleets, meet-and-greet at Dublin Airport, and off-site dinner coaches for corporate events of any scale.

Convention Centre Dublin (CCD) and Spencer Dock

The Convention Centre Dublin (CCD) at Spencer Dock, North Wall Quay, is the largest purpose-built conference centre in Ireland, with a main auditorium of 2,000 seats and total capacity for 8,000 delegates across all spaces. The CCD is in the Docklands, 3 kilometres east of O'Connell Street and accessible from Dublin Airport via the Port Tunnel (15 minutes) without using the M50. Coach drop-off is on the North Wall Quay; coaches stage in the CHQ Building car park area adjacent to the CCD. The Docklands hotel cluster (Grand Canal Hotel, Maldron Hotel, etc.) is within 1 kilometre; the main city-centre hotel strip (the Shelbourne, Westbury, Merrion, Fitzwilliam) is 4 kilometres south-west, a 10-minute shuttle.

RDS Arena and Ballsbridge

The Royal Dublin Society (RDS) Arena in Ballsbridge (4.5 kilometres south-east of the city centre via Baggot Street and Merrion Road) has a main hall capacity of approximately 14,000 and hosts major trade fairs, equestrian events (the Dublin Horse Show in August), and corporate events. The RDS is accessible by coach via Merrion Road; coaches stage in the RDS arena car park. The Ballsbridge hotel cluster (InterContinental, Herbert Park Hotel, Sandymount Hotel) is within 1 kilometre. Citywest Conference Centre (Saggart, 20 kilometres south-west via the M7/N7, approximately 25 minutes from the city centre) is Ireland's largest combined hotel and conference complex, with capacity for 3,000 in the main hall and 1,050 bedrooms on-site.

Croke Park and Off-Site Dinners

Croke Park Conference Centre (Jones Road, 3 kilometres north of O'Connell Street) uses the GAA stadium for conferences, exhibitions, and meetings at capacities between 500 and 5,000. It is the most distinctive conference venue in Ireland and popular for corporate entertainment combining conference sessions with stadium tours and Guinness hospitality. Off-site conference dinners are a major driver of corporate coach hire in Dublin: the Guinness Storehouse (St James's Gate, 3 kilometres west), the National Gallery of Ireland (Merrion Square, 1 kilometre from the city centre), Kilmainham Gaol (4.5 kilometres west), and the Chester Beatty Library (Dublin Castle, city centre) are the most commonly booked evening venues.
