What's the easier Dublin railway station from which to make a
public-transport connection to the airport -- Pearse or Connolly? (I'm
guessing it's Connolly then the short walk to the bus station, but
correction/alternative routes appreciated.)

Connolly's best of those two -- bus 747 runs Airport --> O'Connell St
--> Bus Stn --> O'Connell St --> Parnell Square --> Airport

Bus 748 runs Airport --> Bus Station --> Tara St Station --> Heuston
Station --> Bus Station --> Amiens St (North Star Hotel, opposite the
entrance to Connolly station) --> Airport

(Tara St is the stop between Pearse and Connolly).

Fare is 5 euro adult, 2 euro child (coins only).

Neither I'd have thought. Get off at Howth Junction station and take a
shuttle bus to the airport (15 min). Every 15 min, 4.30 euro.

I'm taking the 'real' train (as opposed to DART) from Wexford -- I'm not
sure if it stops at Howth. But I'll check it out. Thanks both for your
advice!

If you´re travelling at a weekend (Wexford is on the Rosslare line) have a
look at this:

http://www.irishrail.ie/news_centre/...iew&news_id=87

"... Furthermore, Dublin Connolly to Arklow/Rosslare services will also be
affected at weekends. Bus transfers will operate on all Arklow and Rosslare
services between Dublin and Greystones or Arklow, and delays of up to 40
minutes may result ..."

Fortunately I'm not, but thanks for the heads-up.
