Answer 1

Dublin Bus run busses specifically for those concerts. The bus goes form Burgh quay and a return ticket is 6 euro (it was last year anyway). The buses usually start at about 1.30pm and go every 20 minutes and take you back int o to town after the concert. You can get your tickey from Dublin bus on O'Connell street or at the bus itself. There'll be a link on the dublin bus site nearer the time.

Answer 2

There are no b&b's, hostels, hotels or anything in the rathfarnham area(where marey park is) but i recommend you stay in town, harolds cross or rathmines - possibly rathmines because its near town and probably cheaper!

The 16a bus from the airport will leave you to rathfarnham village (or if you dont mind a bit of a walk then you can get off at nutgrove shopping ventre and expect a walk of about 30mins or so...slightly uphill aswell!) and from there you can get the 16 to marley park, which isint that far away. you should buy a one day Dublin Bus ticket from the airport and you can go on all the buses that day with the one card (special buses not included)

Enjoy the gig and good luck!:)
