Marino Institute of Education is located just off the tree-lined Griffith Avenue on Dublin’s Northside. A taxi from the airport to the Institute, which can be booked using the FreeNow App (https://www.free-now.com/ie/) should cost around €30 but this may vary depending on traffic. The 123 bus connects Marino Institute of Education with Dublin city centre and many of Dublin’s cultural treasures. A Leap Visitor card can be used to pay for bus transport (https://about.leapcard.ie/leap-visitor-card).
Dublin is well served in terms of connections to all major European cities. Aer Lingus and Ryanair have many scheduled flights daily across Europe and these flights are complemented by other international airlines who fly in and out of Dublin. A wide range of accommodation is available in Dublin City and the 123 bus from the city centre stops directly outside the institute. In addition, delegates may choose to stay in one of the 300 student rooms at a competitive price. The map below gives an outline of where the institute is situated relative to landmarks around Dublin City.
Dublin city is well over a thousand years old and during that time it was influenced by Christian, Viking, Norman and English visitors. Key to its popularity with those visitors is its location on the east coast of Ireland and its situation on both banks of the River Liffey.
Dublin offers a range of attractions for all visitors from a cultural, historical, and social point of view. The city centre is compact and is host to museums, art galleries, parks, restaurants, music venues and theatres. Trinity College Dublin and the adjacent Temple Bar are particularly popular with visitors.

Although the city provides ample interests in its own right, it is within relatively easy reach of a variety of geographic and cultural sites from Howth to Dalkey, and Newgrange to Glendalough.
Marino Institute of Education (MIE) has been preparing teachers on its current campus in Dublin since 1905. Although it was initially dedicated to preparing Christian brothers for teaching positions in Ireland and around the world, lay students have been attending Marino since the early 1970s and since the mid-1970s, students have been graduating with Bachelor in Education degrees accredited by Trinity College Dublin, the University of Dublin.
Today, Trinity College Dublin and the Congregation of Christian Brothers act as co-trustees of Marino Institute of Education. The number of students now exceeds 1100 and the number of courses offered has grown to eleven, which includes degree courses in initial teacher education (undergraduate and postgraduate), education studies and early childhood education; a professional diploma in further education; research degrees in intercultural education, early childhood education, visual arts education, inquiry-based learning, and leadership in Christian education; an international foundation programme for students hoping to study in Trinity College completes the suite of courses currently offered.
MIE is a community of learning that is focused on education, ecumenism and respect, empowering the disadvantaged and the poor, and pursuing new knowledge.
