It runs genuinely around the clock: 43 departures from Terminal 1 between 00:20 and 23:50, hourly through the night and up to every 15 minutes by day. It is the only coach here that does.
25 minutes is to O'Connell Street and 34 to Kildare Street, both from the operator's own overnight timetable when the roads are empty. Daytime traffic on the same road is slower.
A ticket is valid on a standby basis for 12 hours either side of the departure you booked, which is unusually generous if your flight slips.
Custom House Quay, by Connolly Station, via George's Quay, the south quays and Heuston Station
Luggage
Two bags up to 20 kg each plus one piece of soft hand luggage, included.

Journey
50–87 min
The advertised "as little as 14 minutes" is not in its own timetable, which gives 23 minutes at the quickest to George's Quay, the first city stop. The coach loops west to Heuston before Custom House Quay: 50 minutes overnight, up to 87 on weekday mornings.
It does not run between 00:35 and 03:05. If you are landing in the small hours this is not an option, however fast it is by day.
It reaches Heuston Station directly, which no other service here does, so it is the one to take for an onward intercity train.
