    Hi Kifi
    Living outside Collinstown for the last number of years and returned to work in Tallaght 4 yrs ago! Its hard going the commute. The public transport is not suitable, bus only goes through the village twice a day and the train from Mullingar to Dublin, if I was to use it, i would have to take it at 6.25am, means leaving the house around 5.50am to allow for parking etc., to do the commute by pt it would be over 2hr! I leave the house a 6.45 to be in work for 8 and leave at 3.50 and am getting in to Collinstown around 5 so not to bad, as i have to be home to pick up kids
    The area is great in the summer as is everywhere but winter can be tough, but its great for the kids as the school are good and there are lots of clubs they are involved in so keeps them busy. Have the advantage of parents still alive in Dublin so try to visit during winter once an month and during summer hols alot!
    If you need any more info you can pm me and will be glad to help!
