    Live in swords and accepted a new job in Carrickmines park, if I have to I'll buy a car but would like to know if there is any combination of public transport that is feasible.

    Until the Luas arrives the only bus going past is the 63 to Kilternan.

    I would suggest that the only option is a car - the 63 is too infrequent and even it leaves you a bit of a walk away.

    For goodness sake you would think they would get the information right.

    The 115 and 117 no longer exist.

    The 44/44C leave you over a mile away at Ballyogan, while the 63 doesn't even have a bus stop outside the retail park, but rather some way further along Glenamuck Road.

    I would counsel anyone against using public transport to access this retail park.

    Does this not say something about planning in Dublin. A significant retail centre comes into existence, which employs hundreds (at least) and has thousands of customers, but the public transport network does not seek to serve it!

    for those very very few that'll use it to get there. for everyone else its an unnesicary detour and dely.

    Coming out of town it'll now have to cross the bridge, across 1st roundabout around 2nd, into park, stop, around park roundabout, back to 1st roundabout and fully round it back to where it started 5 mins ago.
