    €300 p/m would be pretty decent actually. Almost nothing compared to what's going these days.

    300 a month is the going rate for a double room I'd say. IT'd probably be on the cheap side actually.

    Luckily I booked mine in January. It seems like a bit of a disaster alright. .

    Very true , but a monthly student rail card is 93.50 , so 393.50 for a double room (and all the trains to and from dublin you can handle), and probably the largest double room in the largest house in the area is still quite reasonable, im just putting it up as an option, ive seen people pay 400 a month for single rooms in maynooth, and this is only a 15 minute train away, youd be there in the same time as walking from the back of castle dawson

    Does anyone know the best route from Templeogue to Maynooth? I went on Google Maps and it said the shortest bus journey was nearly 2 hours.

    used to do terenure , the 16 or whichever bus leaves you on westmorland street, then a 66 from there, itll take about 2 hours though. Cycling to pearse street and getting the train is probably the cheapest but itll take about the same time.
