You'll probably get more responses in the athletics forum (and in the Dublin Marathon thread) - but as a Dub, and someone who is also running the marathon I'd say if your family simply walked around the corner from your hotel on to O'Connell Street they'll have a great choice of places to spectate from.

O'Connell Street is within the first mile so they'll see everyone feeling fresh & energetic... After everyone has passed they only have a short walk over to Nassau Street / Merrion Square to watch the finishers coming in.

Best of luck by the way! Enjoy the experience.
