I am assuming a bus from City Centre? Anyone know bus route that might bring me close please?

Thanks in advance.

A number 40, from Thomas St, or anywhere on the route to stop 4546 just off the N2 will leave you just a few minutes from it... http://www.dublinbus.ie/en/Examples/Google-Map/?routeNumber=40&direction=OI&towards=Liffey+Valley+Shopping+Centre&from=Finglas+Village

Would it not be easier and faster to take the 140 and get off at stop 1560, avoiding the long tour of the delights that Finglas South, West and North have to offer?

Would it not be easier and faster to just mention the benefit of the 140 without the back-handed comment about certain parts of Finglas?

Buses in the north suburbs tends to go through every single housing estate on the way to terminus. Take the number 19 which tended to spend more time driving away estates in the suburbs than going to town. That was one of the reasons why the buses routes were redesigned. There is no need for a bus to spend 20 mins driving around low density estates to collect about 2 people.

The 140 is the quickest.It sticks to the main roads.

I was referring to the fact that the 40 takes a very extended tour of those areas rather than the direct route along the N2 that the 140 takes.

Any other interpretation is one that you have made yourself.

There are a mix of routes along each corridor, some taking the direct route, others serving the local areas. You need a balance of the two.

Blah blah blah off topic chat that the OP doesn't need.

Get the 140 OP and get off at stop number 6364 which will leave you adjacent to Charlestown Shopping Centre and a 12 minute walk to Audi North Dublin.

Thanks guys for all of your help. So would I have to get a luas into the O Connell street area to get this bus i.e. 140?

Yes - that's the easiest way.

The 140 goes from Upper O'Connell Street.
