Dublin Express, Port Tunnel
Yes, you can take a bus to Dublin Airport. Dublin Bus operates routes 16 and 41 from Zone 15, and route 41 runs on a 24-hour basis.

The Dublin Port Tunnel, originally known as the Port Tunnel, is a road traffic tunnel in Dublin, Ireland, that is part of the M50 motorway. The tunnel connects Dublin Port in the east of the city to the M50 motorway at junction 2, near Dublin Airport. It is 4.5 km long and comprises twin tunnels that form a two-lane dual carriageway. The tunnel was first proposed in 1991 and officially opened in December 2006 for HGVs, before opening to all traffic in January 2007.
Dublin Bus routes 142, 33x, and 41x use the tunnel to reach the port area from the northern suburbs, and longer-distance buses from Belfast, Derry, and Letterkenny also use this route. The tunnel helps to reduce traffic congestion in Dublin's city centre by diverting HGVs away from the port and directly onto the motorway network.
The construction of the tunnel involved several challenges, particularly where it passes under the Dublin-Belfast railway line. A pipe-jacked supporting structure was built to support the railway while the tunnel was constructed using horse-shoe sections, which were then backfilled. This section took 24 months to complete.
