How to Arrive at Mercy International Centre
From Dublin Airport
Public transport options are by air coach (bus) or taxi:
- The bright blue air coach, with an orange logo number 702 going to Bray/Greystones, or Number 703 going to Killiney/Dalkey. Both will stop, if requested, at The Old School House Hotel. The air coach costs €8 for a single ticket.
- It is a 10 minute walk from The Old Schoolhouse Hotel, alongside the canal, to Baggot Street Bridge. Mercy International Centre is located to the right of the bridge. The Centre is a large cream-coloured building with a bright red door, number 64A. The building is distinctive for the life-size bronze statue of Catherine McAuley on the path outside the main door.
- The other option is to take a taxi direct to the Centre. The approximate cost is €30. It will vary depending on the time of day and the traffic on the road.

Bus 39A stops outside Mercy International Centre. It can be caught from Aston Quay (off O’Connell Street).
