    What is the quickest way to get from O'Connells Street to Leapordstown? I'm finally getting full time employment and am wondering would I be better moving or is the commute viable five days a week?

    It depends on what part of Leopardstown you are going to be based in. If it's in and around the Racecourse/Industrial Estate then the Luas will be the best option. If it's the Stillorgan Dual carriageway/Galloping Green end then the 46A or 145 may well be handier.

    I need to get to Central Park, Leapordstown. I think it's basically in the centre?

    There is a Luas stop at central park, funnily enough by the same name :)

    Some of the companies also have a private bus service to/from Central Park operated by Executive Express.

    Yep I'm aware of that, I'm not from Dublin so what is the best way of getting from O'Connell street to a Luas stop than can connect to Central Park? From the Luas website I need to get to St.Stephens Green and commute from there... How long would this journey take?

    Apologies for all the questions but I can drive from Kilkenny to Leapordstown in about 1 hour 40 mins so just trying to weigh my options up.

    Excellent, configured the bus and Luas for the journey. Thanks for that!

    For the time it takes, you would probably be a good deal quicker to walk to the Luas from O'Connell Street.
