    get from the bus station to Ballybrit business park?

    I'd look it up on a map but considering I've never been in Galway at all, I'd just confuse myself :confused: Even knowing how far a distance it is would really help. Have an interview and no knowledge of how to get there!

    Thanks guys.

    No. 9 bus? It's the first stop on the right-hand side of Eyre Square as you leave the bus station..

    Nr9 goes to Parkmore.
    Nr3 will take you close but then you have to walk the last bit. I'm fairly sure it leave from the top of Eyre Square.

    You get off at Eircom building (nr7) and walk across the roundabout heading for nr1 or 2.

    If you're not sure then get a taxi. Takes about 10 mins from the square and will cost just over a tenner.

    What business are you going to?

    the number 9 stops at Ballybrit business park. the stop for it is just across from Fibber Magees on Eyre Square. It'll be the stop with the biggest queue!

    Doesnt the no. 9 go out the dublin road past merlin park and into doughiska and to the BRIARHILL business park.

    Ballybrit business park is beside the ballybane roundabout

    I'm not sure where it is, but these maps of the #9 and #3 might be useful for finding the nearest stop: http://www.busbuddy.mobi/

    Ahh, no it doesn't. You're probably thinking of the Briarhill Business Park.

    OP: you want the number 3 bus.

    The Ballybrit neighbourhood map shows you the position of the route and bus-stops near the parks.

    The (very newly released) Ballybrit Business Park layout map shows you the exact position of Supermacs within the park - currently it's number 15 on the map. Their building seems to be designed for people who travel by car: the office bit is at the front, and so you have to walk across the dockway and down a drive to get to it. And of course there's no "Welcome to Supermacs" sign at the front either. But you'll get the idea from the map.

    Good luck with your interview. Like someone else, I'd advise a taxi to get out there - nothing worse than arriving flustered or late.

    It's the Number 3 which goes across from O'Connells on Eyre Square. If you need to be there for 9am, take the 8:30 but if it's an interview i'd leave earlier just in case. You'll be waiting for a while at the workplace but it's better to be safe than sorry. The last stop before the business park is just after the Eircom building in Mervue.
