I am flying into Dublin Airport... how do I get to the cottage from the airport?

You have a few options. You can get a taxi which will probably cost €20-25. You can also get the bus, there is the posh €6 Airlink(747) that will drop you on O'Connell Street or else the less posh number 16 that costs less than €2. If you get the number 16 you can get off at Drumcondra and walk 12 mins to the cottage. If you don't fancy walking then you can get the 16 to O'Connell Street like the 747. From there you can get a 123 out to the cottage.

toto the cat

Do not believe anything that comes from this cat's (see above) lips. He lives with us in number 5 but he might try and do some charity work while you're here.
