    Wexford forum. Gumtree? Done deal can get random posts and you might hit lucky. Even a few flyers in local shops or the church notice board.

    Why time do u have to be in Dublin for ? The train leaves Gorey at 5.55 am and gets into town around 7,45

    If the worst comes to the worst if you get stuck try see if wexford bus or bus eireann go early enough into town so u can get out to clondalkin from there ...
    Very early start though but best of luck

    Only real option for public transport is 4.45 am BE bus from Gorey to Custom House Quay and 6.25 am route 69 from Burgh Quay to Clondalkin Village. Next bus is Wexford Bus at 5.50 getting to Custom House Quay at about 7.15, probably too late for a connection.
    Early start but if the job is that important, needs must.

    Luas only goes to Red Cow or Kylemore, long walk from there into Clondalkin. Of course we don't know exactly where the OP is referring to when he says Clondalkin, Clondalkin could be anywhere from Robinhood to Grangecastle or from Park West to Kingswood.

    You might be able to do a workman type weekly deal with some of the budget hotels up there.Might work out the same price as the travelling and a lot more sleep too and keep your reciepts in case you might be able to claim back something through your company.

    OK, then Dublin Bus route 151 is better, that will leave you at Ninth Lock Road about a ten minute walk. You'd still need to get the 4.45am bus from Gorey though. 151 stops at Eden Quay, just a short walk from Custom House Quay, bus
    takes about 5-8 mins to get from Docklands terminus to Eden Quay, depending on loading.


    https://www.dublinbus.ie/Your-Journey1/Timetables/All-Timetables/1512/

    Weekly ticket is about €70 plus about €30 for Dublin Bus, I suppose the budget hotels would be about €150 for five days, worth considering.

    handy enough walk to that industrial estate from the Bewleys hotel

    no way would I do all that travelling over 50 quid

    I was talking to my son this morning and just happened to mention this as he often stays in Bewley's overnight if he's travelling to the airport. He says the corporate rate is about €55 a night there, individuals would probably pay more.
    OP maybe the best idea is to look to rent a room in a house in the area, check out sites like Rent.ie.
