Underground and on the metro
Luas runs 2 lines. It opened in 2004. The operator does not publish whether the tunnels carry a mobile signal, so we do not claim either way.
Worth knowing about Dublin
- Dublin Express is the only airport bus that uses the Dublin Port Tunnel, quoting journeys from as little as 14 minutes; every other airport coach stays on surface streets.
- Dublin Airport's free Wi-Fi needs no sign-up, registration or SMS code - you just join the 'Dublin Airport Wi-Fi' network, which is supplied by the Irish operator eir.
- The Luas is a two-line street-running tram system and does not reach Dublin Airport; the planned St Stephen's Green to airport section was dropped before construction.
- ComReg, Ireland's telecoms regulator, confirms EU 'roam like at home' rules cover Ireland along with Iceland, Liechtenstein and Norway, and from 1 January 2026 Moldova and Ukraine; the UK is no longer automatically included after Brexit.
