Moving to Dublin

stokesy

Hello all,

I'm a student studying in the north and have got a placement with Microsoft in Sandyford; I'm moving down with a few friends who also got placements, theirs however is with Intel in Leixlip. We're trying to agree on an area to live where we'll be able to get to work with good time to spare(quickish), thats fair on price, a nice location to live, good transportation to both and safe.

I've been asking a few friends who've lived in Dublin who all recommend living South Dublin around the Rathmines area, it makes it more convenient for myself, I'd however like to live close to Intel to avoid any arguments/disputes.

My friends working for Intel don't have licenses to drive, I on the other hand do, would it by worth my while driving to Sandyford or is the traffic a nightmare? Should I find somewhere along the Green LUAS line and get that to work? Is traffic on the M50 in the morning really bad?

Really appreciate anyones help on the matter.

Go raibh maith agat!

rathmines is actually pretty cool(if ur not xenephobic) as theres a good mix down there, but i'd also recommend d4 if possible. nice trendy part of dublin and and very near the city and you can go watch leinster play rugby, the team is animal and don't forget to go watch some summer football in the League of Ireland

I'll wait til the Setanta cup starts and the mighty Cliftonville start ripping teams to shreds.

:eek:

We're not foreigners in the North, we're brothers who have yet to gain access.
