You best bet might be getting a lift to Newbridge or Sallins train stations. http://irishrail.ie/

Another option would be the Kildare Outlet centre and get the Dublin Coach N7 service to Red Cow / Dublin Airport, but it is likely to be busy. http://dublincoach.ie/timetables/N7_bus_dublin_airport_to_portlaoise.php
