Though one of the busiest airports in Europe, successive governments have dithered for decades about opening a much needed second passenger terminal at Dublin Airport. The advantage for travellers in the current arrangement is that you can't possibly get confused about which building to use. The disadvantage, of course, is the vast concourse of people shoved into one large, but not nearly large enough, building.
There is, at present, no connecting rail link to the airport. For bus information, see the information and links a short way down this page..
Dublin Airport on-line is a private service that links into ebookers.ie, a popular travel site. The information presented here, particularly about bus routes to the airport, is much clearer than the official site. And you can get the same live arrival and departure information as the official site - at the cost of a teensy casino ad.
Route and charter flight information is also available. Basically, if you need to find out something involving Dublin Airport, this site will have it or link to it.
Not a great site, but you can get miniature maps of Dublin airport and the access roads. Just be sure to have your microscope ready. Dublin Airport is managed by AerRianta, the government owned semi-state airport authority.
Flight information such as arrivals and departures are up to the minute, however. And, if you go to the Index and choose the Ground Transport button, you can get the information you need about buses to the airport.
