The Morton's Ferrylink service which formerly operated from Westmoreland Street to Dublin Port and from Dublin Port to Connolly and Heuston stations has now ceased operation permanently, having been temporarily suspended in March 2020.
Stena Line have introduced a new bus service, which operates only between Dublin Port and The Point Luas stop (7 mins by Luas from Busáras + 2 mins walk to Connolly; 20 mins from Heuston).
The bus leaves The Point Luas stop 1 hour and 15 minutes before ferry departure (15 minutes earlier for the morning sailing), and leaves Dublin Port 45 minutes after ferry arrival.
All sailings have a bus connection except the midnight arrival and early-morning (c. 2am) departure. However, note that there is no Luas to The Point early enough for the bus to the morning sailing on Sunday; and on Saturday the connection is so tight that to even attempt it would be utter lunacy. Monday to Friday are fine, though.
The fare is £3 each way, and tickets must be pre-purchased on board the ferry, online or in the ferry terminal - they cannot be purchased on the bus. Children are free up to age 3, but those aged 4 and over pay full adult fare. The fare does not include the Luas transfer to Dublin (€2.80 to Busaras, €3.20 to Heuston; 80c discount with Leap Card).
This represents a very significant increase in cost in exchange for a massive reduction in convenience. Unless you are a solo traveller with minimal luggage, a taxi (or Irish Ferries) is the now the only real option.
There is no longer a dedicated bus for Irish Ferries, their passengers must now use the public Dublin Bus Route 53 service which operates from Dublin City Centre to the Irish Ferries terminal. This service does not serve the Stena Line terminal.
