    Depends where in Dublin 9 really.
    Anything from 10 to 30 minutes, depending on time of day and where in Dublin 9.

    Have you tried Google maps? It's gives estimated travel times for cars and buses.

    No offence to anyone that responded, but if it's important to you i.e. for interview I'd look to confirm for myself.

    Yep, Furry Park is just off the Howth Rd, a little bit north of Killester. OP, it is not near the airport, or Santry.

    Furry park is the name of the industrial estate on the left handside passed the entrance for the crown plaza

    Used to be a nice pitch and putt course there back in the day.

    As for the OP's question, the 41 from Abbey Street should have you there in about 30-40 mins in normal traffic.

    17 was a great hole. Very short but tough to get over the 2 mounds and into the green.

    there used to be 3 or 4 holes in the 2nd field. The 2nd hole in there used to be a great hole. Fairly long and rang the whole length of the field with the ditch on the left. Back then it was probably a 4iron, now probably a PW.

    Guys thanks for the replies, anyone know can I get a bus to Furry industrial Park from airport? Also can you walk into the industrial park itself? ( sorry if this is coming across as a dumb question!!)

    Thanks in advance!

    Any bus (41 etc.) going from the airport to town will pass by Fury Park. Get off just after you pass under the M50 flyover. It'll be between a 5 and 10 minute bus ride. And yes, you can walk into the industrial estate.

    I once had a boss and when he was employing people gave them the wrong map so if they weren't on time they hadn't checked addtess in reality so didn't get job. !! You seem to be checking.

    Both the 16 and 41 heading towards the city will take you there in about 15 minutes.

    Both the 16 and 41 will collect you from the doors of the airport, should be about 10-15 minutes depending on how busy the airport is. And also check out the front of the bus! You could find that the 41 is going to Swords.

    The 33 and 41c are outside the airport on the main road, about an average of 10/15 minutes walk to get to their bus stop.

    What an asshole, he sent people who were already nervous to the wrong address ! Like in fairness if he supplied them the map to HIS place there's kinda an assumption that he knows where he works and couldn't possibly be wrong.

    Says more about your former boss than the candidates IMO.

    Back on topic- OP if you are going to any industrial estate in Dublin always expect bad signage or no signage and an absolute maze of a place. I'd allow at least 20 minutes from the entrance to find where you need to be, some units could be a 15 minute walk from the entrance alone.

    What a very dumb way of judging employees.
