Site: https://www.theccd.ie/
Report: https://directindex.org/r/theccd.ie
Scanned: 2026-10-14 (provisional: the assistant citation check pending)
The Convention Centre Dublin is mostly ready for agents.

## Direct links
- Order: https://www.theccd.ie/online-ordering/ (on the business's own site)
- Phone: +353 1 856 0000

## What to fix first, by points
- **No tickets and prices found.** (+7 points) Agents answer 'what does it cost and when' from marketplaces instead. Add a page with tickets, times and prices as text and link it from the homepage. Guide: https://directindex.org/guides/menu-pdf-ai
- **Structured data is incomplete.** (+6 points) Missing: address, telephone, opening hours. Guide: https://directindex.org/guides/structured-data-restaurant
- **No llms.txt.** (no points, still worth doing) Optional today, cheap to add: a short text file describing the business for language models. Guide: https://directindex.org/guides/llms-txt-for-a-business
