Due to the recent flooding in Ireland, Gaelcon has been forced to move the RDS Hall 7. Directions can be found on our Directions page which will be updated.

Keep an eye on the facebook page or twitter account for up-to-date information!

A Map of how to get to the RDS Hall 7 can be found here.

Friday Night
Due to having to change the venue at such short notice, we won't be opening our doors on Friday (L5R Euros follow here). However we will be meeting up in Oil Can Harry's on Friday 6.30 on wards, we'll be meeting and greeting and running the Geekest Link.

Saturday
We will be opening our doors at 10am on Saturday Morning. Please be patient as there might be long queues.

What about my Hotel Booking?
Update on accommodation in the D4. They have done an assessment and they are closing the hotel completely until the 3rd. You can contact the hotel on 353 (0) 1 4373 444, or by email at This e-mail address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it , though they will be contacting everyone with bookings shortly.

As far as we know, bookings will be transferred to alternative venues in the vicinity and there will be transport arranged from these new venues to the RDS. We understand this is going to be inconvenient for many attendees, and we really appreciate all your patience and understanding with these changes.

What about the events that I've booked?
At this moment in time we're trying to re-organize and jig the floor plan and timetable, so changes will be made but we'll try and keep to the original timetable as much as possible. We'll try and keep people notified of any changes the best we can.

Dublin experienced a month's rainfall in four hours yesterday. As a result of this, our venue has flooded.

Since finding out about it at lunchtime, both the Gaelcon organisers and ourselves have been planning away, and we have come up with a Plan B.

THURSDAY:

Visitors arriving Wednesday and Thursday are advised to head to our local gaming store, Gamers World.1 Jervis Street, Dublin 1. Locals will be hanging out there, and should be able to point you to various venues for food etc. We'll also be handling enrollment for pre-registered players there on Thursday night from 6pm-9pm, so if you want a bit of a lie in on Friday morning we'd advise doing that, and it would make our lives much easier to know who had arrived etc.

As you leave the airport terminal there'll be a number of buses heading for the City Centre. Take one to O'Connell Street (should be 6 euro). The Spire is the ridiculous metal spike on O'Connell Street, and once you've found that this map should get you to Gamers World, it's a fairly straight run down a main shopping street and then an arterial road, shouldn't be much more than five minutes.

FRIDAY:

The Friday Qualifiers will be held in the Stillorgan Park Hotel (map). This is also serviced by the Air Coach. The following buses go from the City Centre, and have a specific stop outside the venue, these links include details on each stop in the route:

116 Towards Whitechurch

145 Towards Kilmacanogue

46a Towards Dun Laoghaire

47 Towards Belarmine

7b Towards Shankill

7d Towards Dalkey.

The number 47 runs between the original venue at the D4 and the Stillorgan Park Hotel, and should cost €1.85 each way.

From the D4 Hotel to the Stillorgan Park Hotel

We are currently investigating other methods of getting from D4 to Stillorgan Park Hotel and will have further details both in the D4 on Thursday night and in Gamers World on Wednesday and Thursday night.

SATURDAY AND SUNDAY:

The rest of the weekend (Saturday and Sunday's official events, and Monday's unofficial ones) will be happening with the rest of Gaelcon in the RDS. This is near to the original venue (500m straight down a main road), and can be reached via the Dart to Lansdowne road or the following buses that leave from Nassau Street (beside Trinity College, just off Grafton Street)

4 Towards Monkstown Avenue

7 Towards Loughlinstown/Cherrywood

45 Towards Bray (Oldcourt).

ACCOMODATION IN THE D4 HOTEL:

As far as we've been informed rooms booked in the D4 Hotels are fine unless you hear directly from the Hotel themselves, in which case they will sort out new accommodation for you.

We advise again that if you get into the city before Friday that you head to Gamers World at some point, where we should be able to provide more information and even give quick tours to where the relevant buses stop.

If anyone is in or near the D4 hotel and is worried about getting from there to the Stillorgan Park Hotel on Friday please contact me on This e-mail address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it or 00353872250662

My apologies for this inconvience.
