    Not really the right forum - should be in the main part of C & T.

    However, Keelings is located (frankly) in the middle of nowhere near Leas Cross.

    The nearest bus route would be the very infrequent 40b that will drop you just over 1km away at the far (western) end of Killeek Lane.

    Alternatively, routes 41 and 41c, and indeed Swords Express, would drop you to their terminus at Swords Manor with a far more frequent service, but the bad news is that it is over 2km away to the east, which would mean walking along Brackenstown Road and the road from Leas Cross.

    Beware - there are no footpaths along the roads!

    Timetables are here:

    40b

    41 and 41c

    Swords Express

    Would the 102 from the airport not leave you a bit closer? You would have to get a bus to the airport from town first though.

    Not particularly. Best bet might be a bus to Swords and then a taxi.

    Don't reconsider. Go do the interview. Talk to them about the transport options from Swords village. As it is an agricultural produce company on open farm land out in the middle no where, it stands to reason that it wouldn't be serviced by public transport. But Keelings is still a pretty big operation, with a pretty decent sized work force. They won't all live near by, and they won't all have cars. There may be an employee shuttle bus, or a Swords car pool in operation that you don't know about. It may turn out that there isn't & that getting to and from there without a car will be a total pain in the ass, but you won't know that unless you ask.

    Unfortunately Thomasmartin, the transport is the least of your worries if you are working for Keelings :(
