Walking distance to Stephen's Green will cost you.
Walking distance with somewhere to put a car will be ridiculously expensive.

Your best bet is probably to either rent somewhere out the Luas line and use the Luas in and out of work, while hopefully leaving the car somewhere safe.

Alternatively and more cheaply, many of the northside 'X' buses go to Stephen's green, so you could rent on the northside, use the bus in and out of work and get on to the M50 easily enough from the northside.

i've been looking along the sandyford luas line alright. i've been told stay clear of the north side as the m50 is a disaster on friday evenings? would like a short commute for work over getting out of city at weekends. must also look at the bus routes, cheers

Ranelagh and Rathmines have lots of places of variable quality, with reasonable access.

Also consider somewhere along the N11 - one bus a minute in the morning.
