You could take the 7 bus from Ballybrack to O’Connell Street, then a 90 bus on the quays to Heuston Station.
Or go into Dublin city centre by DART to Connolly station.

The Arrow train runs from Heuston Station, Dublin to Kildare every 35 minutes. A shuttle bus operates from the Kildare Train Station to Kildare Town, Kildare Village Outlet Shopping and the Irish National Stud every 20 minutes, round trip.
It is much easier by car. If you have a friend who drives, share costs & go for the day. They must have a full driving licence to use the motorways.
Drive up Wyattville road onto the M50 Northbound. Leave the M50 at junction 9 & follow the Naas Road to the M7 to Kildare. Look for signs to the National Stud Farm.
