The train is more comfortable if you're already in Dublin, but if anyone is flying to Dublin to get to UKNOF, the Aircoach 705-X is probably the more convenient. Pickup is just outside the door of Arrivals in Dublin airport (there are stops at T1 and T2) and it's an express service to Glengall Street in Belfast, which is 3 minutes walk from the Assembly Buildings:

It's £10 each way, and takes 1h50m.  Service is hourly, on the hour.

The train is available from Connolly Station (take the 747 bus and get out at Talbot Street, or take a taxi). Service is every two hours, and it the journey is 2h10m. €19 single or €35 return. You can buy tickets at the machines in Connolly.

The train via Dublin is also pleasant enough  if you can get on the island.

    Hi

    One of our delegates posted the following on FB for anyone affected
    by the BA strikes:

    =====
    For people flying on BA to UKNOF in Belfast on September 9th who are
    likely to be affected by the BALPA strike, there's currently
    availability on Aer Lingus flights to Belfast City Airport.

    Since BA have codeshare arrangements with Aer Lingus I was just able
    to get moved onto EI935 / BA2135 (departs 15:15 LHR) just by talking
    directly with BA Customer Services.

    Hi,

    FYI, British Airways have announced strike dates on the 9th and
    10th September over UKNOF44.

    Sadly the flights I had booked have just been cancelled. Will have
    to seek alternative arrangements.

    Hopefully not too many of you are caught up in this.
