Everything for the venue and social event is within walking distance but if you want to do some exploring before or after the event you could consider purchasing the Dublin Leap visitor card. One day €8. 3 days €16 allows travel on most of the public transport in the Dublin area including the buses, trams, rapid transit and commuter rail.

You also can travel to and from the airport at the beginning and end of your usage periods without additional cost. Of course that is on a bus. Only 25 minutes but you would have to manage your luggage.

A Taxi Hire from airport will cost you about 25-30 Euro.
