    Okay I had planned on moving to the Stillorgan/Sandyford area but have been offered a job in the Ballymount area, is there any means of public transport which would bring me to Ballymount from the Stillorgan/Sandyford area?

    All of the routes appear to involve going into town and back out again. Though Stillorgan/Sandyford is a large area, you might get more luck with the Dublin Bus route planner if you have more specific addresses.

    Actually wouldn't be a long or unpleasant cycle. Much faster than public transport.

    Route 75 to Tallaght Village and then route 77 along Greenhills Road and walk in from there.

    You are looking at a journey time on the 75 of 50-55 minutes and 10 minutes on the 77, plus waiting time between the two.

    Got to www.dublinbus.ie and search for Ballymount. The entry for the Industrial Park lists the 56A.

    That's an infrequent service - 75 minutes between buses during the day. You might be better off looking at the 77A, which runs along Greenhills road, about every 20 minutes.

    Options for Ballymount from the city are:

    1) 56a directly to Ballymount

    2) 27 or 77a to Greenhills Road from where there are two entrances.

    You'll need to check Google Maps to see which option suits you better.

    That could leave the OP with a substantial walk, compared with either of the bus options above.


    It depends upon which part of Ballymount they are going to.
