Maynooth → Airport: Buses leave from near the train station every hour from 04:00 to 21:00.
Trips usually take about 45-55 minutes.
It is advised to book tickets in advance.
Alternative routes
Other public transport options are to take a bus into Dublin City and then take a train or bus. If the bus goes past Drumcondra train station it can be possible to get a train connection from there. Google maps will tell you if there is a convenient connection.
