    I am attending Insititute of Technology in Blanchardstown and it is freshers week next week.
    I live too far away to be able to get home on the nights out so I am thinking of staying with my sis on campus in D.C.U.

    What buses go from/to DCU(Ballyogan)-Blanchardstown?

    Do you wreckin it will cost much for a taxi?

    Theres no direct route so what id do is get the 10 or whatever into town and then get the 38or 38a or the c, not sure which one goes by ITB . .

    Woaah taxi will be VERY expensive. . . looking at 25/30euro each way . . .

    Bus is way handier.

    Er...DCU is in Ballymun.

    Bit of a walk to the 220 Bus Stop though, I'd get the 17A to Finglas Village and hop on the 220 there.

    DCU very euphemistically refer to their address as simply 'Dublin 9, Ireland', meaning yes it is in Ballymun, but no they're not going to admit it!
    Nowt as strange as folk!

    Eh, Ballymun is Dublin 13! I've only ever seen the address referred to as Dublin 9 or Glasnevin, Dublin 11. I wouldn't really refer to anything that side of Collins/Glasnevin Avenue as Ballymun either.

    Ballymun is Dublin 11 or Dublin 9 depending on which part you're living. It's never Dublin 13.

    Isn't Ballyogan over the southside???

    Ok I can get the 220 from outside blanch college to dcu, ive seen it around so thats not a problem.

    The problem is getting from DCU to Blanchardstown because I dont have a clue about Ballyogan and the bus stops.
    If someone could give me directions from dcu on where to get a 220 that would be great.

    p.s last night it cost 17 quid for a taxi from blanch to dcu. dam!

    I suggest you learn how to use google maps.

    http://maps.google.com/maps?f=q&hl=en&q=Ballymun,+County+Dublin,+Republic+of+Ireland&ie=UTF8&cd=1&geocode=FUrDLgMdmGKg_w&ll=53.396023,-6.267443&spn=0.032345,0.064888&z=14&iwloc=0x48670e1cd4966eeb:0x69dd6c101403b6cc

    Zoom on on the red tag which is at the ballymun shopping centre and you will see the blue and white bus icon,
    click on it and it will tell you what buses stop there and you will see the 220 is listed.

    if you get the 220 from blanch to dcu , just remember which stop you got off at or, tie one end of a piece of string to the bus stop and tie the other to you, that way you can find your way back
