im not worried about accom. im worried that i might not have time to get from the airport to a hotel to the venue. the flight im looking at arrives at dublin at 1020am on Sat. what do i do????

That"s plenty of time to get to the card room. Also, there"s no rule in Ireland that you have to be sat down for the first hand being dealt. So if you are 30 minutes or so late - no big deal (pardon the pun).
I"m just bringing hand luggage, so I don"t have to check anything into the hold, and plan to go straight to the card room tonight before the hostel I"m staying at. I"m sure they"d allow you to put your luggage in the cloakroom (can anyone confirm this)?
If you are looking for cheap accommodation, the hostels look very good and are less expensive than many of the hotels I looked at. We"re staying at the Jacobs Inn Plus - you can book online, just Google it if you"re interested.

There"s a dublin city bus from the airport which is cheap for a return ticket.We only arrive in dublin at 9 30 on saturday morning but you will have plenty time.
-
ok thanks everyone
can anyone else name some places to stay.
also how many people normally go through to the Sunday
-
I don't know about where to stay but you can get an airbus for 10 euros which takes about 3o mins into Dublin city
I will be getting on the 9.10 from Leeds which gets to Dublin at 10
I don't know about Sunday since I have not got that far yet but I think its about 25-30

Cheeky arris!!
I"d also point out Mark Donnelly to people who complain that they haven"t been able to get a seat in any of the tournaments. I"ve always maintained that if you want to play in any of the live events you can. Mark didn"t have a seat for Ireland. So he travelled over without one, got to the card room early and got onto the reserve list for the day, and took up the inevitable places left empty by those dropping out. Again, he showed that he"s rightfully at the top of the leader-board by reaching the points (and nearly reaching his 3rd final table).
Where there"s a will, there"s a way. Lee Mulligan did the same in Scotland (not reaching the points - but turning up in the morning to get in on the day).
-
Shouldn"t really make this known as more and more people in future will be trying this. Me and the wife both travelled over to Dublin without a seat in the tourney, we arrived early put our names on the reserve list and managed to get in.
PLEASE KEEP THIS QUIET!

Just to manage expectations at future events though.....there were those who did not manage to get into the tournament!

They didn"t try hard enough.

Yes to be honest there were was quite a long reserve list and a lot of people were disappointed. We were very lucky on this occasion and I wouldn"t like to raise peoples hopes. We took a gamble and it paid off but we only just got in.
-
thanks for everyone trying to get me to go. had a great time and i hope many more to come in the future. was sitting at kinboshi table on the first day. thought it was a pretty hard table but over all happy with my performance

Who were you then? I thought it was a pretty good table - decent play but good friendly banter. Wouldn"t want it any other way (except maybe full of fish!!).
I thoroughly enjoyed playing on that table, only inches from the finishing line to get to the last 20 as well...never mind. Roll on the next one!
