It's about 5 minutes walk south from Pearse Station. It's near Merrion Square.

Train to Hueston and 92 bus to Stephens Green only a 7 - 8 min walk to Fitz St. from there

Maynooth train doesn't go to heuston

Pearse Station is probably the closest DART station. Turn left out of the station and head to Merrion Sq. Walk to the diagonally opposite corner of Merrion Sq. and you're there.

Sorry the route didnt come up on the link. If you enter pearse station and fitzwilliam street on the page that comes up it'll show you the way.

Yep. Maynooth train arrives in Connolly Station where the OP will need to change to the DART.

Even better! TBH, I didn't know that. It's been a while since I used the Maynooth service - a long while

I used it twice a day 5 days a week for 4 years so unfortunately its all to fresh in my mind!! finally moved to avoid it this year.

Fantastic stuff thanks people, I am but an innocent country boy who doesn't know much of the big city.

Note Fitzwilliam Street Lower extends from Merrion Square to Baggot Street only, beyond Bagoot Street it is Fitzwilliam Street Upper, then Fitzwillaim Square, then Fitzwilliam Place.

You'll know you're there when you see (in the midst of Georgian splendour) a hideous office block owned by the ESB. Of course there was Georgian splendour there beforehand too, but someone thought what they replaced it with was better.

Ugh.

Found it lads, thanks. Funny thing about the ESB building is that they own (in part at least) the Georgian house on the corner which has been restored as a museum. We went on a field trip. Exciting stuff to be sure.
