    Hi guys
    Im after being offered a job with Merit Medical in Ballybrit and am trying to organise my accomadation. I was wondering could anyone give any tips on where would be best. I cant drive so Id need to be somewhere within walking distance or that has a bus out to near the Industrial estatee every morning. Has to be reasonably priced as well. Thanks

    You can live practically anywhere in the City Center if you'd prefer. As it's only 25-30 min to work on the 403 or 409 buses.

    Renmore would be a good option. It's closer to town, near beach, gyms (kingfisher/Connaught hotel) etc. There's a good bus service to Ballybrit too.

    Wellpark is a much nicer area closer to town. You can get the bus outside the cinema straight to work.

    So I got my contract and I will starrt at 8 each day and finish at 5. Sometimes I will be on the evening shift and finish at 2 30 am. I assume I can bus up no bother for the early mornings, but for the night shifts Ill probably just have to taxi up and down.

    Then make it Doughiska and get a bike for the evening shift. It's ten minutes on the flat. As you go along, chances are you'll end up getting a lift in/out with someone anyways - as a lot of people working in Parkmore locate themselves in Doughiska for obvious reasons...
