Unfortunately the only airport bus service that runs after midnight is the AirCoach which in my experience of this weekend was very overcrowded (many standing passengers) due to its insufficient scheduling (hourly after midnight). Unfortunately I chose to get a return and on returning (during the day) I had to wait almost 1.5 hours to get a coach that is due every quarter of an hour.
Because that put me in the rush hour I very nearly missed my flight. During the day use the cheaper, more frequent and much less busy Dublin Bus Airlink Express (services 747 and 748). At night, think about getting a taxi.

I often use aircoach as a relatively cheap, comfortable alternative to Dublin's taxis. I've found staff polite, helpful and the coach arrives as scheduled. Perhap PlasticManc's experience stemmed from delays caused by the extraordinarily bad weather/flooding over that particular weekend? The weather was fine in Dublin? We had a lovely day out at Howth. The main thorn in the side of an otherwise lovely visit to Dublin was the panicky stressful departure.
