Dun Laoghaire is easily accessed by Dart (Train Service from Dublin City), bus and by car (M50 motorway exit junction 16). There is paid parking around the town, and it’s a good 20 minute walk to find free parking, though we can discreetly help you to find this if required. We have arranged a special rate with the Harbour Company of €10 per day for parking at the marina. Dun Laoghaire Marina is located next the Stena Ferry Terminal, left of the terminal if you are facing it!

We meet outside the Marina at 7pm for weekend courses and at 9am on Monday for 5 day courses, unless arranged otherwise for a particular course.
