    Yeah, not the same as it goes into town, but you can get across from/to Swords to/from the Malahide Rd compared to the 41s and 33s.

    I always have difficulty with the Dolphins Barn/Kimmage/Sundrive/Drimnagh area. Just seems to be a maze of residential streets. I think my problems is that a lot of the roads curve in all sorts of directions and meet eachother at weird angles, so you end up turning back on yourself if you don't know exactly where you are.

    Anywhere else in the city, even if I don't know where I am I still usually know my orientation and what direction I'm facing. But for some reason that area is my Bermuda Triangle.

    I got lost during my first couple of weeks in Dublin looking for a Curry's. I google mapped it and it sent me down Cork St and into an estate. Before I knew it I was at St Theresa's Gardens looking down Donore Terrace. As I walked back to Cork St I noticed a street called O'Curry Avenue. There might have been a corner shop or something there at one point called Curry's.

    I was lucky to escape with my life...

    Was never any shops on O'Curry Ave afaik. It's St.Teresa's Gardens btw, no H! Wouldn't have been a pleasent place to end up especially a few years back when they'd be shootings on a monthly basis in there.

    It's fairly similar to Marino/Fairview area, bulit around the same time as the areas you mentioned, it is all over the place and like mazes. My mate who's lived in the Tenters all here life still gets lost driving around Crumlin, etc...

    Yet to get lost, despite getting a bit of a nosebleed whenever I go further south than the grand canal! I cant understand how anyone could manage to be lost in Dublin tbh.
    While housing estates in the suburbs can be depressingly 'samey' and be like rabbit warrens, it wouldn't take too long to find your way out of them and back to a main road and civilization.
