    If you're taking the train to Dublin, you can get a southbound DART from Connolly Station to Sandymount, the RDS is just a short walk from there.

    Whats the parking likely to be like at RDS on the day of the final? Site says it's parking varies depending on the event, will it be hard to find parking there on cup day?

    In the RDS, probably a nightmare, compounded by 30mins plus queues to get out.

    Within 5-10mins walk from the ground, no problem.

    Regarding parking, the main car park (RDS Mainbuilding) will be for Society members only, while the Simmonscourt car-park will be for prioritised Club officials and the left over to the cattle. (i mean punters)

    Parking around Lesson Street, Baggot Street, Northumberland Road areas on the back roads it'll be fine - about a 10 minute walk. Pretty much where you'd park for Lansdowne and it'll be alright.

    There's a lot goin on in the RDS this Sunday too. Aside from the Cup final, there's ice skating, a Rhianna concert, and an Interpol concert. So just get the bus - much safer and easier.

    RDS arena. Leinster played there 2 weeks ago and alst week was the World Cup draw. Apparently it was sponsor Ford who didn't want it clashing (for all the promo work thats gone on...)

    RDS = Right Durban Shindig.....

    I'm bemused by the concept of the Rhianna crowd meeting the Interpol crowd, talk about a culture clash.

    What about parking in housing estates near RDS, I can't get clamped/towed for that can I? Obviously once I'm not blocking driveway.

    Usually fine on a Sunday, but its a fairly built up area.

    What way will you be driving in? I usually park on Herbert Park Road. It's about a kilometer long and has parking on both sides so you can normally find a space. You can then take a short-cut through the part to the RDS.

    You'll need to be good at parallel parking because sometimes the spaces are a bit tight.

    I'll be coming in by the canal taking the right turn at Baggot Street. I can see Herbert Park on Google Earth but which road is it? The one that goes right through the park itself or what?
