Traveling from Tallaght to Ballycoolin Road (Bus?)

    Wondering could anyone help me. I'm going for a job out in Ballycoolin industrial estate which is out past Blanch. I don't have a car and it's proving to be a bit of a nightmare to get to. The 76 goes from Tallaght to Blanchardstown Centre (although it takes an 1h40mins) and the bus stop is about 25 mins away from me. Then I'd have to get from Blanchardstown centre to Ballycoolin Road which I'm not sure how I would. Surely there's an easier way of getting there as you're looking at a good 2 and a half hours to get there every morning.

    There's a bus that goes from the Blanch Centre to the Industrial Estate numbered 270 (I think there's a 269 too but the routes have changed so I can't remember).

    Otherwise, if you can get the Luas or bus to town, you can get the 38/A from the City Centre straight into the Industrial Estate. It goes right in.

    That's great, thanks for your help.

    Trying to find out on the Dublin Bus site which one actually goes into the industrial estate. The map they have has a stop off in the estate alright but when you click on this link http://www.dublinbus.ie/PageFiles/6874/38a(1)From%20O'Connell%20Street_towards_damastown.pdf it doesn't mention it. Might phone them up to find out. Wouldn't want to get the wrong one on my first day in a new job.

    Thanks again.

    I used to work in the estate. The 38/a and the other bus (I said 270 but it might be a different number you might wanna check) go into the estate during the relevant work hours. So the 38 misses the estate during the afternoon but between 7-9 and 4-6:30 or sometrhiing it takes a detour through the estate (I also used to study in the college near there and the buses did this every morning)
