    Loads of supermarkets... Dunnes, Tesco and Marks & Sparks Foodhall.With regard to gym/swimming pool Rochestown Park Hotel would be nearest to you.

    Be sure and try out KC for takeaway.

    The only thing I reckon that we do not have in Douglas is an undertakers. We have to go up to Templehill for that.

    In fairness Douglas has to be the best serviced suburb of Cork.

    Douglas is huge. Any particular area? The bit by Nemo is pretty scummy as a rule, but just around the corner you have some of the poshest parts of cork. Same goes for rochestown. Depends where you are.
