Dublin to Wicklow commute

Lame Lantern

I'm going to need to commute to Wicklow Town daily for about 4-6 weeks in October/November and I'll need to stay in Blackrock (Dublin suburbs) rather than where I am now (in the city centre) for the duration. I can't drive and don't own a car so I'm not sure how to do it.

Best I can work out is to get the bus into the city centre then get the bus eireann 133, whole thing would set me back ~17 quid daily (I could hopefully charge that to the company, but still).

Am I missing something? Is there any service that'll stop in the south Dublin suburbs I could hop on? Anybody familiar with commuting times along this route?

Dart to Dun Laoghaire and Bray and a train to Wicklow would be an hours trip but it only gets in at 10:40, any use to you?

The 133 will pick you up at Foxrock, Stillorgan or Bray Main Street as well.
