    I would chose bicycle.
    Fast in the crowded city, reliable, you can take it with you anywhere really...
    Beside you'll drop some weight ;)

    BTW - how did u manage to get 6 years ban?

    Walk
    Cycle
    Bus
    Luas
    Train

    It's not exactly a difficult city to get around...

    Stick a feather up your arse and fly!

    But seriously, you could hire a driver if you need it that badly and can afford it. A lot of taxi drivers would jump at the chance for a few days guaranteed wage every week.

    Or a Segway.

    I know its not difficult to get around but was thinking more fun and quick, like an electirc bike or scooter or some forms of transport without a license, Personal transport ie not a bus / luas etc...

    anyone?

    You can't legally use Segways on Irish roads.

    Cant afford a Driver!!

    From Dundrum to Parkwest then out to Cabiently and maybe citywest / Rathfarnham.

    Its more to be able to just blow off or scoot around for work rather thatn bus into town and bus out of town

    A valid licence is required to operate a 'scooter' on public roads.

    Brainstorm!! There must be some fun ways to travel where you dont need license / insurance to operate them on foot paths / roads.
