    Hi,
    I have an interview with this crowd on Monday and the directions they gave me are for drivers and southsiders. Has anyone any idea what is the best way to get to this place from the city centre i.e. O'Connell Street. I know the 16A goes to Grange Road but not sure how far I am from their building from there.

    14/14a stop up the road from it according to google maps.

    16A is no good to you as it goes down Nutgrove Ave and doesn't turn up the Grange Road. The 16 is what you want.

    Any of the 14/14a, 16 or 48a will take you close by. They all operate from the same stops on O'Connell Street (stop OP on Upper O'Connell Street) and on D'Olier Street (stop CK - the last stop heading towards College Street). Do NOT under any circumstances take the 16a.

    If you take the 14/14a, ask the driver to let you off at the 48a terminus in Ballinteer. Then just walk back to the roundabout and turn left - Glaxo is 5 minutes walk along Stonemasons Way on the right.

    If you take route 16, you need to get off at the stop after LIDL on Grange Road (the stop is just after Stonemasons Way). Then walk back towards LIDL, turn right onto Stonemasons Way and then Glaxo is about 2-3 minutes walk on the left.

    For route 48a, take the bus to the terminus, then continue straight ahead to the roundabout and turn left - Glaxo is 5 minutes walk along Stonemasons Way on the right.

    Timetables are at the links below - click on the "view on map" button to see the route:

    http://www.dublinbus.ie/en/Your-Journey1/Timetables/All-Timetables/48a/

    Allow 45 minutes to make the journey in the off-peak to be safe and 55 minutes in the peak (it'll probably be 5-10 minutes less). Off-peak the 14a and 48a are probably the fastest.

    The 16 should appear in the city centre about 25 minutes after leaving Santry in the off-peak and 30/35 minutes in the peak.

    Returning, the 16 terminus is only 2 minutes away, and the 14/14a should take about 10 minutes to get to the stop opposite the 48a terminus from Dundrum.
