How to get to Dublin 11?

Mrs Garth Brooks

Is dublin 11 far from the city? I need to get to Ballycoolin Road. Just wondering is it walkable from the city? Can you get a taxi or will it be expensive? How about places to stay? Will the city be best or is there a hotel close by?

Is it walkable from the city?
http://maps.google.com/ have you ever seen this website? Ballycoolin is out past Finglas/Blanch

I would suggest bus or taxi, no idea what bus check dublinbus.ie , id imagine a taxi would be roughly 15quid from general city centre area.

Goes from parnell sq. Which industrial estate are you going to op?

Mrs Garth Brooks

Im not sure which industrial estate im going to. I forget the name. Is there a hotel close by also. Or would I be better staying in a hotel and getting taxis as I will end up getting lost.

The nearest hotel is the Ardmore Hotel on the Finglas Road.

Or stay in Tyrrelstown(Park Plaza hotel). Anyway, Ballycoolin road is not in D11, its D15. 40D will bring you along the entire route through many industrial estates straight through to Tyrrelstown. Also, the 17A will bring you there from another northside location(Coolock for example)
You will not walk it there unless you are a very fit athlete

Wrong, the Carlton in Tyrellstown or Crowne Plaza at Blanchardstown Shopping Centre would be closer

Ballcoolin road starts off in Dublin 11, I worked in Rosemount Bus. park and the address was D11. Which can get confussing as the business across from us were D15.
OP any chance of finding out where exactly you are going to so people help you?

Mrs Garth Brooks

I need to get to the premier business park, which says dublin 11.

Slunk

40D would be your best bet. Goes right past it.

Location maps of Premier Bus. park
Google maps aerial view of park and area, from above web site
Bus stop nearest to it, well, going by Dublin bus web site any way
So 40D from Parnell St will get you there.

Mrs Garth Brooks

I still didn't make it up to dublin but will do next weekend. I have to be there before 9 am and the train comes into heuston at 8.10 in the morning. I have no sense of direction, i will probably get lost finding the bus in the morning. So i have decided i will get a taxi in the morning. Will i be in time if i get a taxi? And how much would a taxi be?

Also, i presume there are buses to get back into the city. I'l have some time in the evening, so don't mind getting lost then.

See here. Fare from Heuston to Rosemount is approx 18 euro.

By public transport, best to get the Luas from Heuston to Abbey Street and then walk up O'Connell St to get the 40D. It would be a challenge to do it in 45 mins, so taxi is your best bet.
