Flying to / in Ireland

[Magimix]

Hello,

I own & fly a PA34 Seneca in France.
I plan to fly to Ireland in August, and spend a couple of days there.

As I'm planning my trip, I'm looking for specific GA information, such
as the taxes & other costs associated with the different airports.

In particular, it would be convenient for me to land in Dublin EIDW,
but I'm afraid of the costs of handling, of parking (seems to be 8€+
per hour !) and renting a vehicule (to be allowed to get to/from your
plane on the apron : 46€!)

Anyone here could share his/her first hand experience ?

Thanks
YAG

You seem to be correct:
http://www.dublinairport.com/about-us/airport_charges.html

For truly first hand information, why not just call them and ask?

Don't forget that Dublin is the home base of Ryanair, so they may be
actively discouraging private pilots to bother them.

Check out Weston Airport

Fairly Central to City

, I'm from Dublin but live in Ca , USA . Flew out of there once (on
a lesson), Nice facilities . So not much first hand experience. I'd
also Check out Cork, Waterford and Galway airports as well if you are
travelling in Ireland

Even though it is a professional pilot's forum,
they have been remarkably polite and helpful the
few times I've posted there.

The majority of the users seem to be UK-based and
well informed about anything aviation-related.
