    Is there any pedestrian access to here off the Ballycoolin road?
    I typed my journey into a route planner and its leading me down to the main entrance which would leave me with half a mile of a walk to where I need to go.

    Yes that whole road has a footpath on both sides, it's a big enough estate too.

    Where are you heading to in there, it's a big enough park ? There's a gate, or used to be anyway, what would only be open in the morning that brings you down beside IBM and Paypal.

    Isn't that into Ballycoolin Industrial Estate rather than Rosemount though

    My understanding is that the main entrance on the Ballycoolin Road, is the only entrance into Rosemount Business Park from that side of the estate.

    True. They all blend into one after a while. If we know where roughly, someone might be able to identify a short cut or quicker route.

    I'm going to Commtec, it's near the front but according to google maps it's a 1km walk from the nearest bus stop

    Apologies in advance, but if you are anyway half fit or healthy that is no more than a 15 minutes walk :)

    Yeah, 10 minutes at a reasonable pace.

    Where would be good places to live if I end up working there? Obviously Blanchardstown itself but where else is accessible by public transport?

    Waterville in Blanchardstown is a 10 minute walk to the Industrial Estate if you wanted to live somewhere decent and avoid needing public transport altogether. If you want to commute to work by bus, the industrial estate is served by the 17A and 40D...neither of which go through areas I'd particularly want to live in.

    Yeah was thinking that myself, maybe Glasnevin being a slight exception. Without knowing the area and looking at maps, the 38 doesn't look that far away.
    I'll take a look at waterville too

    40D serves Tyrrelstown, which is also within walking distance, and Glasnevin, nothing wrong with there.

    It doesn't even serve much of Finglas anymore.

    Only if you walk really, really fast.

    Have done it numerous times when I've left my car in for a service at Discount Tyres?

    Went there today, it wasn't that long at all. Having said that on a wet winter morning it may not feel so short.
    Theres no pedestrian shortcut through, you have to go right down to the main entrance but it really isn't that far.
