Recently visited Dublin for the first time in around 4 years and what a big disappointment it was regarding the transport from the airport to Dublin city centre.
Last time I was there (I think around 2018) I came out of T1, hopped onto the 747 Airlink and was in Dublin around 30 mins later.
This time, I walked outside to a horrendous queuing system in the rain (no cover) to board coaches into the city centre. Each coach took an age to arrive so the queues were almost inside the arrivals area of the terminal.
Why hasn't Dublin got better transport links into the city and surrounding areas? Are there any plans in place to actually get a train station located at the airport like most EU capitals have?!

My last drive around the city I saw 4 cyclists ..one jumped the lights and another was cycling the wrong way up the road. Traffic jam on the way towards the airport added an extra 20 mins to the journey.
Maybe an answer would be a direct bus shuttle to Portmarnock Dart station but would need some infrastructure changes.

The current bus arrangement at Dublin is a disaster. The old Airlink + Aircoach arrangement worked fairly well, while the present Dublin Express is often a mess and has insufficient capacity for the passenger numbers. Let’s not even discuss the joke of a long distance coach station.

I believe so as they never went back on the old Rennes route operated by Aer Lingfus Regional in Stobart days.
I'm surprised they went for Brest over Rennes, concidering Rennes has a bigger hinterland and a long tradition of links to Ireland (it even used to have a 2x weekly to Cork in Stobart days). Brest may be handier for tourists on camping holidays.
