    The dart doesn't really go anywhere near there. You'd be looking to get the Luas green line to the end of the line to get there.

    There's a feeder bus that goes from Bray city to sandyford but that's hardly ideal.

    Route 114 from Blackrock DART station but it is a limited service.

    Yep the 114 is probably the best otherwise there are a number of 75s from or two dun laoghaire that operate via sandyford but there are not that many and the times may not suit you.

    Route 114 is highly infrequent, unreliable and unpredictable.

    Calling it limited is an understatement. I tried to use it once...never again.

    It suffers from cronic traffic problems around sandyford and blackrock, add to that a completely unrealistic running time and your going to have problems.

    Op, you say Dart to sandyford, where are you starting out from? northside/city? 46B is pretty good although fairly limited with no sunday service, departs from Mountjoy square, better make that Parnell sq to be sure as some are turned early when down the field.

    It's not much better than the 114 :( Here are the buses that should get you to Sandyford for around 9am: 07:04, 08:25 and 08:38 and here are the buses in the evening: 16:30, 16:50, 17:45, 19:50, 21:20 and 22:45. Make sure you never work late because you'll enjoy two extra hours soaking up the ambience!

    For such a huge trip generator, both DB and DLRCC have failed miserably to serve the estate. The only decent option is Luas. The Dart is useless because of the lack of feeder buses and the bus is useless with the possible exception of the 75.
