    Maybe. Book a cab for 20 minutes before you need to leave, in case they're late.

    Public transport the night before and a hotel at the airport might be cheaper esp. if there's more than just you. Plus you can stay in bed longer. :D The Travellodge in Swords has rooms for €29 most nights.

    This is probably a bit tight. http://www.flybus.ie/timetables-page.html

    Aircoach will be running, but getting into the city centre + Aircoach is probably as expensive as a direct taxi.

    You could get the last Nitelink. :)http://www.dublinbus.ie/en/Your-Journey1/Timetables/All-Timetables/41n/

    Unfortunately as far as I am aware the Spa Hotel is a set down stop only for Citylink.

    I am afraid that the only option for the OP that I can find is either taxi to the Airport directly from Leixlip or taxi to Liffey Valley (either the main door of the Clarion Hotel or the bus stop on the N4) to connect with the first Flybus service at 0420.

    However with a bus fare of EUR 9.00 in addition to the taxi you'd wonder whether it would be financially worthwhile?

    I believe that Flybus are planning a service direct from Leixlip in the future (see the front page of their site) but alas it is not yet in place.

    I have to say that from my own experience their service is excellent and very reliable.

    Turns out we didn't need to be in the airport till 8am.

    But. Being Paddy's Day IE and DB assumed everyone wanted to go to the parade in Dublin, so the trains and buses didn't start till after 10am, but when they did they were quite frequent. No use to me tho.

    Once again private car won out.
