4 Abbey Street (opening December 2026)
Luas: The Abbey Street stop (Red Line) sits right on the street itself – about as close as it gets. It’s also a short walk from the Green Line (Marlborough or O’Connell GPO stops), so both lines are easily reachable.
Bus: Routes 15, 27, 39A, and C1 are among several that stop right nearby on Abbey Street and O’Connell Street.
Train: Tara Street and Connolly stations (DART and mainline rail) are both a short walk away.
