The RDS (Royal Dublin Society Club) founded in 1731 is where many of Dublin’s premier events take place.  A wide range of sporting and music events, conferences and exhibitions take place at the RDS. It is the home of the Leinster rugby team who won last years Heineken Cup. The RDS is located in Ballsbridge about 2 miles south East of Dublin in the upmarket Dublin 4.

The DART to Lansdowne or Bus 5,7 and 45 will all take you to within a short walk of the RDS.

If you’re travelling to Dublin you will need a hotel st stay in. Here is a list of the ones closest to the RDS. I plan to review each in turn in future posts.
