Iarnród Éireann opened a train station in the area in 2007. The Docklands railway station commenced service on 12 March 2007, and serves the Maynooth commuter rail line (except Drumcondra station) as far as Clonsilla.
Another development is the C1 extension of the Red Line Luas to the Point Depot opened in December 2009. This provides a connection to central Dublin and Connolly Station.
There are numerous hotels in the Dublin Docklands area located on both sides of the river. The Gibson Hotel is the closest hotel to the O2 Concert Venue, while the Clarion Hotel IFSC is the closest hotel to the newly opened Convention Centre Dublin. Across the river the Grand Canal Hotel is located close to the Grand Canal Theatre.
