Mrs Hillbilly wants to go to the game. We have a friends house 30 minute bus ride away we can stay at. Hoping the ferry and match tickets won't be a problem, as this is starting to look like a 'goer'.
Unlike Mrs Hillbilly, who definitely isn't a 'goer'. 🙁

i reckon any accommodation close to the M50 will be an easy taxi hop to the stadium. Especially on the Southside of the city. The M50 is also pretty good for getting to the airport on the Northside.
The local equivalent of Tramlink is the Luas. The Red line connects to Tallaght ( pronounced Talla ).

Dublin airport does not have a light rail connection. Its either a taxi, car hire, or the aircoach link below.

At all costs, avoid Clondalkin. It makes Thornton Heath look posh. The tradition of racing horses, on the road, goes back a couple hundred years.

A number of people were riding horses and driving horse and traps at the time.

Beware the Irish breakfast. Almost identical the the English breakfast, except for the addition of "white pudding". I have no idea of the contents of white pudding, except to say, if it looks like,......., if it smells like,....
It's ........

If flying back on Friday. Give yourself plenty of time to get to the airport. Traffic is notoriously crazy on a Friday afternoon towards the airport.

If your hotel is in Blessington, give yourself extra time for a shyte taxi service. Match-day is likely to be busy. And generally, car transport around Dublin can be a nightmare.

Flags.
Both the St George, the Three Lions, AND the irish tricolour ( with a Palace logo of course ) , would be good. Lets show Shelbourne that we got more irish fans than them. Therefore we are a bigger club in Ireland than them.
the Union Flag...union jack.... has always been a little bit controversial on these shores. But for the life of me i cannot say why. It doesnt really bother me. But suffice it to say you would show discretion about wearing Palace colours in a Brighton Housing estate. The Union Flag can elicit a similar reaction among republican types, Sinn Fein voters, people with Palestine flags, Glasgow Celtic shirts, etc. Its probably fine to fly the Jack inside the stadium, but just remember that a small drunken fella wandering a dodgy neighbourhood alone, in the evening, with a Union jack t-shirt....probably not a good idea.....you get the picture. I expect the Shelbourne fans will be fine and well behaved - more interested in football than politics.
And for the sake of balance, be reminded that although there are very many Micks who support Palace, there are probably also a decent number of Nigels who support Shelbourne. Such is the interconnected nature of the modern World.

That is a massive over-estimate; the two most Irish London clubs are Arsenal and QPR.

It would be nice if Palace fans visiting Dublin did so in a happy but respectful way and not parade around like a bunch of EDL flag-shaggers. Many might be surprised to hear that the Irish actually quite like English people (but not English politics) and will get along just fine with English visitors who are there for the craic...

When I fly over for match days the whole of Dublin airport is full of Arsenal shirts. Strange thing is i rarely see them when I'm out and about it's mainly Liverpool and manure.
Although less man u these days as they appear embarrassed to wear thier shirts.

That isn't what we are talking about... we are talking about the London clubs that London Irish people support (i.e. born in England but from an Irish family).
