    Train to Connolly and Dart onwards to Lansdowne Road. Where in Ballsbridge will you be working?

    Lansdowne Road is a bit far from Bankcentre. You could go one stop further and get off at Sandymount which I think is a little closer. But probably a better option would be to get off at Pearse and get the bus to Ballsbridge. The 7 (and some others) will drop you at the door.

    [edit]Others are 5, 7A and 8

    http://g.co/maps/fzhda - this shows you AIB just to the left of Serpentine Avenue. You can see the distance of both train stations to there.

    Another option is to get a folding bike and bring it on the train with you. It's only about a 15-20 minute cycle to Ballsbridge from Pearse.

    I'm pretty sure you can get it at merrion square around the corner. If not then Nassau street.

    The 66X or 67X from Maynooth head for Belfield and you can get off just past the Canal near Waterloo road and walk 10 mins to Ballsbridge

    Hijacking this thread!

    Doing the opposite to the OP, moving into Ballsbridge and working in Leixlip.

    Anybody have any idea how long the commute is by driving and the best route to take?

    Up to Morehampton Road. Down to the canal. Follow the canal as far as Davitt Road and cross over the Luas tracks down to Islandbridge. Turn left and follow N4 to Leixlip. You'll be against the traffic so you should fly out.
