Wasnt for me i walked past it on the way to the car park bus pick up and thought its a pretty poor reflection on Airport/Ireland that there arent taxis at the airport

A tourist lands in ireland after a long trip and has to stand outside  in a queue for likely 40mins for a taxi  - its not a good look 

Nearly every foreign airport you land at there are taxis lined up

Most are fairly bad these days, airport wants their pound of flesh from pickups, FreeNow/Uber drivers don't ant to pay, so they end up in some far off pickup spot. If you're used to the apps it's fairly handy, order a taxi and the app directs you through the airport/carparks.

Correct - I use the Uber app in Ireland all the time. Only registered Taxis are allowed use it though.

I find it way quicker than Free Now and more reliable

Driving from Cork to Dublin airport for an 8am flight tomorrow. Need to collect someone in Rathmines first so wondering what's best time to be leaving as worried about morning traffic in Dublin.

Well that's an absolute pain in the hole for you. Would be telling the person in Rathmines to find their way to the airport themselves.
Coming from m50 into Rathmines and then through city centre to airport mind add an extra 45/60 minutes, and if Cork to Dublin is 2 hours(could be more) I'd be leaving at 3, hoping to be at the airport for 6.30. But then you have to park up and get a bus probably. Wouldn't bother going to bed basically.

Walk from Rathmines to Harolds Cross is 10 mins and the 16 will bring them straight to the airport

You don't need to be going through Rathmines anytime after 7am. There's no handy way to get there from the motorway without having to pass through a heap of busy villages. Tell your pal to get the bus. Its dead handy and will save you some grief.

Or 10 minutes the opposite direction to Leeson St and get the Aircoach, 16 takes too long stopping at every stop in peak hours.

If he plans on making his flight I wouldn’t suggest this option

LOL

Had to get the 16 bus when Aircoach was suspended during covid. Never again.
